Title: WCL with BLE support
Post by: Mike Petrichenko on February 13, 2015, 06:54:25 AM
Please, find attached new WCL version with basic BLE support. The BLE support works only with BlueSoleil Bluetooth drivers. It allows to

* Discover BLE Enabled devices;
* Enumerate it's service;
* Read services's charcteristics;
* Read characteristic's value;
* Read characteristic's descriptors.

Mike, in a previous post of yours you mentioned there being basic support for BLE with MS drivers in Windows 8 too -- is that the case in 6.14? Do you have an ETA for full (enumerating, etc.) BLE support with MS drivers? I've been asked to add BLE support to an application of mine that uses your framework, and if MS driver BLE support isn't coming soon I'll be forced to switch over to using Microsoft's API directly :(

Thanks!

Hello,

Currently it works only with BlueSoleil. We will add BLE for MS in comming release. However there is no way to enumeerate BLE devices with MS driver. You must use build-in Windows dialog to enumerate and pair with it before use. With BlueSoleil all can be done with WCL.
