i will post an update soon. i would like to point out that this same Win32-BLE stack is apparently used in "production" by at least one person (the original contributor), so he says it works for him. Alex also says it works. also my tests about reading / writing GATT characteristics / descriptors, discovering devices and services etc, also work. so we really need to narrow down the possible breaking points here. lubomir -- _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
