Re: Wifi Direct for Scouting App

Last year our team developed an Android application for scouting and we use Bluetooth to sync the android tablets to the central data processing application running on a Windows XP laptop. We initially purchased a sync software package to handle the sync, but it really wasn't terribly reliable and we ended up writing our own transfer mechanism that has been very reliable.

This year, if we manage to find the time, we'll complete a web proxy that will run over Bluetooth so that the tablets can access our web server directly at competition via Bluetooth.

On the Android, I found a good reference for a Bluetooth client that I used, and on the Windows side, the application itself is written in Python and uses the pybluez library for Bluetooth support.

I am happy to share any code with you. All the code is making its way up to GitHub in a week's time, but for now send me a PM if you want to talk further.
