Hello, I have created a Bluetooth Low Energy Peripheral and need to develop a companion application on a windows desktop for it. I see that windows is currently not in the list of supported plattforms of Qts Low Energy Module and it looks like it will not be in Qt 5.5 according to this commit:
https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtconnectivity/commit/ffbb91da8e8f14d7d5ffa8bbea ce3e6c42eb525b I am using bluetooth modules from bluegiga and they also offer a bluetooth stick with an own C API. I see three options getting my task done and I am asking you which one you think is most sensible one: 1) Implement my application using bluegigas API 2) Implement a backend for Qt to use bluegigas hardware 3) Implement a backend for Qt to use the Windows Bluetooth API from WinRT/Windows 8.1 The options are ordered by estimated amount of work from least to most. Surprisingly I get the same order when sorting by sustainability. This means that actually option 3) is to be prefered. This brings me to a couple of questions: 1) Has anyone already looked into the Windows API and wants to make a statement whether mapping Qts API to the Windows API is feasable? 2) Is it actually possible to use WinRT on the Desktop as backend for Qt? 3) Is there an API or a plugin interface for Bluetooth LE backends in Qt? Can you comment on any of my points? Best regards, Axel
