i'm not very familiar with this GSoC idea and bluetooth in general. "Subsurface and the underlying libdivecomputer today use the rfcomm emulation to communicate with Bluetooth enabled dive computers. We should use native Bluetooth instead" https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa362932(v=vs.85).aspx you probably know that BTLE support is Win8 or newer, BT2.1 is since Vista SP2, while we need to support Windows XP (SP1 first introduced BT) in Subsurface which has to be done with things like the WinSock / RFCOMM API, i'd say. hmm, so i wonder what is "native Bluetooth support", does that imply writing a device driver for Windows that is installed by Subsurface. for instance i don't think that BNEP and L2CAP are accessible from user space... > > In the ideas page, it is noted that there is some sample code of what has > been done so far > regarding the bluetooth idea.

(not much actual bluetooth testing though...). lubomir -- _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
