hi,

actually, if you downloaded the newest version from here http://www.extrapixel.ch/processing/bluetoothDesktop/download.html , it should work out of the box. please re-check you have the newest version and answer back here if it still does not work.

I've downloaded the most recent version.

Just to make sure I wasn't doing something stupid, I deleted the avetana.jar file, which made the error go away. So the examples work now.

Hello!

First of all, thanks alot for the great library, extrapixel.

I do have one question, though. The whole thing works for me, but the connection takes very long (about 5 minutes from find() to serviceDiscoveryCompleteEvent()). As I do know which device I want to connect to, can I specify that in advance? Or can I somehow else accelerate the find() thing?

Thanks!
Fabian

(I am on WinXP, which acts as the Client, trying to connect to a SE W880i, which acts as the Server. I created my own Service name ("FService"), which I use on both.)

hi!

mat, bluetoothDesktop runs on your computer, so it theoretically can communicate with every bluetooth device. However, you need some application on your phone, that can control the phone-side of bluetooth communication. I suggest to have a look at Mobile Processing: http://mobile.processing.org/phones/index.php

Fabian, i guess the implementation of bluetooth has no influence on the find()-speed. as i understand it, bluetooth-searches can be quite complex... the more bt-devices near you, the more complex. i think the devices also act as nodes, connecting devices further away. so, when a device initiates a search, it waits for answers from the other devices... so, basically there's nothing you can do about speed. maybe someone can prove me wrong here...

hey mat, as far as i know there's a library for mobile processing (mobile.processing.org that gives you access to the sms that arrive while your (mobile) sketch is running. You need to forward the received text to your computer using the mobile bluetooth library and bluetoothDesktop library.
take step by step. try to set up a communication between your phone and processing, send some text. Then, try to get the sms thing working (search the mobile processing forum / docs). Combining the two shouln't be too hard then.

(reading your question again... i'm pretty sure you need to create your own service on the phone, using mobile processig for example. i guess none of the available services gives you access to the messages on the phone by default)

Hi extrapixel

im working with bluetooth desktop but we have some problems  :S

We've bought avetanaBluetooth.jar for a bluetooth development involving processing in mac osx and mobile processing on a nokia n95.

for testing purposes, we are using example client on the mobile phone which receives and sends data, and a example server on a mac osx computer that also sends and receives data.

the server application looses the connection with the phone when it sends data (server to the phone).

we tested with bluecove but it doesn't recognize the bluetooth

settings:
Server:
Hardware:
os x 10.5.2
apple Bluetooth software version 2.1.0f16
Bluetooth hardware: MSI Star Key 2.0 V2  Class 1
Software: attached file.
Processing 135
Bluetooth Desktop Library

Client:
Hardware:
Nokia N95 8gb.
Software: attached file.
.jar compiled with mobile.processing.org

Server Code

Client Code

Hi

I'm trying to adapt the bluecam-example on http://www.d-parc.be/index.php/BlueCam;78/2 which is used to capture video on one cell phone while showing it on another one. What i'd like to do now is let the cell phone capture the video but use the laptop as the monitor. so i guess i have to use the bluetooth-library for the mobile and bluetoothdesktop for the computer. but for i'm quite a newbie i have no idea how to send and recieve live video... i also tried to work with the example on the bluetooth-desktop website where they send single pictures from the mobile to the pc, but i don't know which part of the code would have to be exchanged to use the phone as a live camera...

can anyone help me??

For those on Winblows that keep getting this error:

"java.lang.RuntimeException: No supported stack installed or no dongle available"

The first thing you should do is remove the "avetanaBT.jar" file from:processing\libraries\bluetoothDesktop\library

Then, if it still doesn't work, you may need to remove whatever bluetooth 'stack' windows is using and re-install one that works by re-installing your bluetooth drivers (I have heard issues with some versions of BlueSoliel's  drivers exist, but can't say for sure).

I'm only posting this 'cause it took me two days to figure out all i needed to do was delete one little file and hope to save someone else the struggle.  Good Luck!
