I don't know the complete answer to your question, 'cause I'm not very literate in C#, however... I don't see any timers, and I don't see you returning anything to verify something was found. I would have expected to see at least a 'for' loop. Also, is the radio even turned on? BluetoothRadio.PrimaryRadio.Mode would set it I think. Sorry for not helping your exact question, but I think this might get you on the right path. Maybe an expert could chime in and help more (Or at least let you know if I was completely off-base here...lol). Herb

I think you mean DOCSIS 3

Aha! I see how this works now, the more specific my question, the more specific your answer! (kidding) I should have thought of that earlier, but as you surmised, I want to be somewhat vague. Your answer is very helpful and now I am going to be even more specific. (By the way, thank you for your time) I am good at design and implementation, I am good with circuit design, and am an electronics hobbyist. In-circuit programmable flash sounds much more fun than using an Eprom since I don't have equipment for it. Processor: Definitely would like to use ARM because of its availability and general hobbyist base, although I don't know enough about other processor types and functionality to decide. I see pricing for some ARM7 controller kits and one-board PC design, which seems to muddy the waters for me with respect to "What can it do?" and "Will it meet my needs?". I guess maybe I should start out with a micro controller hobby board and go from there? That would technically be 'embedded', right? That fits my groove. Would probably be nice to have a JTAG interface as well? Memory: Probably not more than 512mb, non-volatile. Hardware Design: I am good at circuit design and am in the process of building a PIC controlled CNC for circuit board builds and fabrication of the 'product'. No wirewrap, some breadboard, mostly PCB. Thanks again, Herb

I've found my identity and this is my game to dictate how I see fit.

It seems to going in that direction.

Okay, allow me to restate; I would like to build 1 device, a test device.

No, you have 2 more questions and the game is forfeit.

Obviously, prototyping first, then we'll see.

What if I wanted to make a device to use as an interface or remote and as a standalone computing experience?

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but just a quick (maybe not so easy) question; I know this is mainly a specifically a coding site (hence the name...lol) however, I'm looking for information on coding for machinery or equipment. What equipment/machinery? My own, of my own design. Ambiguous enough? More specifically; if I wanted to develop a mobile device that is not a phone, netbook/laptop, or tablet per se, where would I look for and find information for such a task? Should I be looking into PIC's, embedded design, EPROM's, .... what? Thanks for any assistance! Herb
