    Hi for all I've bought a simple bluetooth external device(like Asus WL-BTD201 Bluetooth dongle). I want to create a single program to read it but I haven't any idea what I need to do. Is there a free library that I can use? I've read something like bluetooth have a stack(???). Things like WIDCOMM stack. Honestly I have any idea how can I do this. Someone can help. Thanks for support.

      Read this about Bluetooth at first: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth[^] Bluetooth is a connection technology, so you have a connection to another device. And what THAT can that is interesting for your programming approach. Have a lot of fun.:cool:

            AFAIK your Bluetooth dongle should also be using the Widcomm stack. If it uses the Microsoft stack, then you have to use the Microsoft API. I don't know if there are other BT stacks though...

              The OP said Widdcom stack, somewhere in his query. So, I took a guess. :)
