Hello to all, I am new on the list. Firstly I will share all my experiences until now. Then I am going to explain some research that I did about bluetooth on "Windows CE" because that is my main problem now.
====== Some experiences ====== 1- After read many mails on the list, I decided to use the server & client connection programs provided on the thread "How do you develop on the PocketPC?" 2- The first execution raise the error "ImportError: No module named ctypes". Then I updated the windows version inside the PDA to 2.5 and everything fine. 3-On the beginning, click on the client.py only opened a Python session without connect to the server. Then I discovered that with the PDA connected to the laptop by USB with ActiveSync running, the wifi was not working. After unplug the USB cable, wifi works fine and one click over the client.py connect to the server. PD: Of course, I had to modify the IP inside the client.py to point to my laptop. 4- If you are more or less new on the list. And you want to read more post that those that you received since you joined. You can monitor the list like a newsgroup and have many month of posts right now. http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.windows-ce/page=9 ========== Bluetooth ========= I am developing an application with bluetooth, xml, http server , etc. The application has been done in PC (Linux Debian) and now I am trying to move it to the PDA. I just checked the import sentences, and all seems to work fine except "bluetooth". I have been searching and here are some conclusions: - BlueZ stack -> only for Linux. - PyBluez -> Windows XP and Linux. - Affix stack -> Only Linux. I found too: ------ A http://lightblue.sourceforge.net/ LightBlue: a cross-platform Python Bluetooth API But it's only for (Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and Nokia's Python for Series 60) ------ B http://www.thewirelessdirectory.com/Bluetooth-Software/Bluetooth-Protocol-Stack.htm Bluetooth Protocol Stacks made by companies. ------ C http://www.xmailserver.org/wmconsole.html WmConsole is a console server for Windows Mobile devices, that listen over BlueTooth RFCOMM channels, and allows the user to interact with the device using a command line interface from a Linux or Windows workstation. ------ D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Platform_SDK Microsoft Windows SDK Microsoft Windows CE .NET 4.2 Bluetooth http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms863414.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/usewinemb/ce/sharedsrccode/west/default.aspx Windows Embedded Source Tools for Bluetooth Technology =========== Questions ========== On [C] there is a program on C++ that use bluetooth on Windows CE. Could be possible to do a wrapper of the bluetooth library that he used and use it on Python? Today I just discovered what is SDK [D]. Anybody with experience on it, maybe could take the info and libraries about bluetooth and put it here to do some magic with it?? --------- Maybe my ideas are stupid, but I am just trying to solve the problem of Bluetooth with Python on "Windows CE". If you find some mistakes on my information, please say it. Thanks. -- Kind regards / Cumprimentos / Atentamente, Ruben. _______________________________________________ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
