Testing Native Bluetooth support on Windows platforms

[Claudiu Olteanu]

Hi there,

I wanted to let you know that I finished the implementation of the
native Bluetooth support on Windows platforms.

If you have a dive computer with Bluetooth support from HW_OSTC3 or
Shearwater family it would be very useful if you will help me to do
some tests. You can download the installer from here[1].

The download transfer is supposed to work on Windows platforms
greater than or equal to Windows XP SP 2.
You should know that if your local Bluetooth device is
not using the Windows Bluetooth stack and uses another one
(WINCOMM, Soleil, etc.) it will not work.

Currently I tested the installer on 4 laptops with their integrated
Bluetooth adapter:
- Lenovo Y50 (OS: Windows 8.1)
- Lenovo Y510p (OS: Windows 8.1, Windows 7 (VM), Windows XP SP2 (VM))
- Acer Aspire One D260 (OS: Windows 7)
- Dell Latitude e5430 (OS: Windows 8.1)

On some environments the pairing step took more than expected
and the download process got stuck. If you encounter the same
problem please try to manually pair the devices.

Also on my virtual machines with Windows 7 and Windows XP SP2 sometimes
the name of the devices are not displayed correctly (they are empty).

If you have any issues/questions, please let me know.

Have a nice weekend,
Claudiu
