How to send a msg via Bluetooth from my Pocket PC using Labview?

[zubairv85]

I am writting a Labview PDA program for my PDA running Pocket PC 2003 and I wanted to know how I can send a message or a file from my PDA to my Nokia phone. I am able to discover the device and connect to it. I just dont know how to send something like a picture file specifically.

Can anyone help me out with this? This is for my senior design project and I'm just trying to get the initial steps of Bluetooth with Labview working.

Thanks.

zubairv85,

To my knowledge there are no examples of implementing a higher level protocol like FTP over bluetooth for LabVIEW.  To transfer files you would either have to create such a driver using the exisiting Bluetooth Read and Write VIs, or simply flatten your file to a string and write it that way.  I'm not sure on the specifics of the Bluetooth protocol so you may have to packetize your file and reassemble it on the other end.

Hi Prabhu,

Take a look at the Developer Zone article Developing Bluetooth Applications with LabVIEW for information on this.
