Title: communication with more, then 8 devices
Post by: sevastianovd on December 26, 2011, 05:44:05 AM

hello,
i have 50 devices around the server. communication is via bluetooth spp, use MS BT stack.
after connection device is comes to undiscoverable mode.
the communication is short command (a few characters).
i need very fast connect & disconnect from server to devices, that all devices can communicate.
is it possible by WCL lib?

Yes of course. Find all devices then connect to each (you can connect to 7 devices at one time).

Use wclClient to communicate with your devices (see BluetoothConnection demo). Connection time depends on hardware (BT dongle and remote device), distance, how many other devices work on the same frequency and lot of other factors. BT Receiver can find all devices but can't connect to more than 7 at the same time.

is it really to have 0.1 sec to connection in favorable conditions?

I afraid it can't be so fast.
