Bluetooth vibration

[kamalrsi]

Hi,

My requirement is to vibrate a Bluetooth device (like Jabra BT250v) from desktop application (which can support either MS stack or Widdcom stack..). I am using your demo version but I got stuck when trying to run the following code

 axBFBluetoothAudioX.Address = Device.Address;
 axBFBluetoothAudioX.Open();

Here I got an exception of "Bluetooth stack is not supporting"

The interesting part is that if I would install IVT bluesoleil then it works.... is there any dependency of this framework over it? Please suggest the right way... if this will work for me then I can purchase the full version of Bluetooth Framework.

Regards,
Kamal

Good day!

BTF does not support audion feature for all BT stacks. It will be implemented in WCL

Hi Mike,

I checked with WCL also but couldn't get any such code sample to support audio. Will it be for future versions?

It will be implemented in future version which is under development now.

Is there any timeline when I can expect it to available for testing in my application?
Also out of these main bluetooth stacks (Microsoft, Widdcom, Bluesoleil etc) which are not supported by BTF for audio feature?

Hi Mike,

I checked the audio feature with Microsoft and Widcomm bluetooth stacks but in both cases with "axBFBluetoothAudioX.Open();" code it throws an exception of "bluetooth stack unsupported". It works with Bluesoleil bluetooth stack only.

As per your comment it will not work with all bluetooth stack but I think it works with only one (Bluesoleil) BT stack? Am I right or i am doing something wrong to use this with Widcomm, as I heard that Widcomm BT stack supported audio (headset).

The BT Audio feature in BTF is not implemented completly. It was just a test implementation. The full support for the BT Audion will be implemented in WCL. It will support (and already do) only BlueSoleil, WidComm and Toshiba stacks. A bit later the MS under Vista will be implemented as well.
