Bluetooth RS232 and EasyC Pro
Our team acquired a Startech USBBTOOTH1 (USB to Class 1 Bluetooth Adapter) and a ICRS232BT1 (RS-232 Serial to Class 1 Bluetooth Adapter).

We have managed to get a Bluetooth RS232 connection to Hyperterminal, but neither EasyC nor the EasyC Loader will recognize the Bluetooth port name - it shows up as Bluetooth Serial Port (COMxx) in the Device Manager. We have different versions of USB-to-RS232 converters and they work fine with EasyC.

At least we can use the Bluetooth RS232 to download telemetry data from the robot to Hyperterminal (and from there to Excel) during driving tests.

Anyone else using Bluetooth successfully with EasyC?

Maybe our problem is with the Bluetooth Adaptor and supplied "Bluesoleil" software ... perhaps a different Bluetooth adaptor will work.
