Who makes a bluetooth usb dongle that comes with drivers that directly work with LabVIEW 8 and Windows XP Pro SP2?

Thanks!

Hi sfrosty,

You can use any Bluetooth device that uses the Microsoft Bluetooth driver.  On Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, the Microsoft Bluetooth driver is already installed.  I don't have a list of devices that support the MS Bluetooth driver, but you should be able to find this information on the Microsoft web.

I hope this helps!

Hi Megan,

Can you give me a hint. I can't find any ref anywhere. Thanks!

Here are some that I know about:
Known to work with Microsoft drivers:

• Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter F8T001 and F8T003
• MSI BToes USB Dongle
• IOGEAR GBU211

Do NOT work with Microsoft drivers:

• Kensington Bluetooth 2
• Kensington Bluetooth

Hope that this helps, Bob Young

Of course I initially bought the Kensington bluetooth 2. Ebay?
