simple bluetooth example labview pda

[lav]

hi, im trying to use the simple bluetooth examples on the pda, i can compile and run the client  on the pda no problems but when i try running the server on the computer it just stops straight off, i thought it was the timeout but thats still at 3000 and i havent changed anything on it.

i running xp pro sp2, broadcom 2045 adapter and a ipaq 5550 with bluetooth

any help would be ace

cheers

Hi,

Just to be sure, are you running the server first and then connecting via the client with this example? Also under Device Manager on your Windows machine does it show up under the bluetooth tree as "Microsoft Bluetooth Stack" or "WDICOMM".

All the best,

hi, i couldnt find either of those, the only thing i could find to do with bluetooth are in the printscreen below, and ye im starting the server and then running the client on the pda but the server just stops right away

thanks for you help

Hi,

Could you try the advanced VI's to see if these work please? Also I'd appreciate a screenshot of the information box on the enumerated bus for bluetooth, you can get this by double clicking on it and the first page should give you information regarding which driver it's using.

All the best,

[lav]

i tried running the advanced bluetooth but i get the error shown on the printscreen below whilst trying to run the server

ive also attached the driver info for the enumerator

Hi Andy,

LabVIEW will only support devices that use Microsoft's Bluetooth Stack, and unfortunatly it appears yours does not. The following list of bluetooth devices are supported by Microsoft's bluetooth stack and therefore LabVIEW:

• Belkin F8T012UK1 EDR Bluetooth USB Adapter
• Belkin F8T003 Bluetooth USB Adapter - 10 Meters ( Belkin F8T003 ver. 2 don't seems to work )
• Billionton GUBTCR41 - 100 m (Software included in the package not installed)
• Conceptronic "Bluetooth 2.0 USB Adapter 200M" CBTU2A / CBT200U2A (Software in the package not installed)
• Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Module
• D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth Adaptor
• Encore USB Dongle (Microsoft Stack)
• Exwell BD-U08 EDR Bluetooth USB Adapter
• Exwell BD-U01 Bluetooth USB Adapter - 10 Meters
• Kensington USB K33085 (Microsoft Stack)
• GigaByte Bluetooth USB Adapter GN-BT05D (Software included in the package not installed)
• Hama Bluetooth Dongle 00049207 (Software included in the package not installed). Inquiries seems to hang after a while ..
• IBM Integrated Bluetooth II on ThinkPad T40 (with driver from Microsoft; file version: 5.1.2600.2180, xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
• Trust BT 1300 TP Bluetooth USB adapter (Software included in the package not installed)
• Trust BT 2200 TP Bluetooth USB adapter (Software included in the package not installed) (Microsoft Stack and Widcomm)
• Perfect choice USB Adapter (Microsoft Stack and Widcomm)

Sorry I can't give you a more possive resolution but unless your device is compatible with the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack it won't work I'm afraid.
