Hi, I'm new to the world of processing and this site.
I was wondering if i could find some information about bluetooth integration with processing.
The main goal is to create a videowall where people could send there pictures to via bluetooth (gsm).

Does anyone has any experience with this?

Kind Ragards!
Dave

I recently released the bluetoothDesktop library
http://www.extrapixel.ch/processing/bluetoothDesktop/

which let's you connect to bluetooth devices if you have a bluetooth enabled computer.
However, file transfer is not implemented yet (you could go ahead and hack it if you want, sources are open!)

You mentioned gsm... which would be something completely different. I posted some info about mms receiving here:
http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Integrate;action=display;num=1191953267;start=1#1
It basically needs a computer with an attached gsm-module. And there is a software called NowSMS, it's not free, but it'll export the reveived mms-images into a folder. (you could then scan that folder using processing & display it).

all in all not trivial, but can be done.

Hi Dave,

Just updated the examples for bluetoothDesktop, there is now an example of a client/server app for sending captured images from the mobile phone to processing.
