Subject: Testing Native Bluetooth support on Windows platforms

 

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

Hi,

 

I thought I would be a good candidate to test this as I have both Petrel 2 and OSTC3+ Bluetooth devices, on Win 8.1 64 bit laptop and could test the android mobile build as well.

 

On downloading the file size seems far to small (38mb) compared to the previous daily builds (64mb), is this a 32 bit build?

I tried to install any way and got an error message (screenshot attached).

 

Steve
