Question

So I’m working on a project right now, and it should be a simple one, but I’m having difficulties.

I’m trying to read in data from a bluetooth dongle that is gathering info from a bluetooth weight scale. It measures data then fires the data to the PC.

Any suggestions on how to do this? I’ve tried searching for reference assemplbies, etc.

Thanks.

If you are lucky your bluetooth dongle uses a virtual serial port to comunicte with computer. In your harwaremanager is there a virtual com-port if the dongle is online that disapears if the dongle is offline?

If yes you can use a terminalprogram to connect to the device and try out what happens. Modems, gps-devices and many other hardware uses virtual serial ports.
