    hi,

    i'm doing a program that involves using a USB bluetooth device. i have read in the book Java for Bluetooth that before anything else, i have to initialize the stack. they provided sample codes but only for the Atinav and Rococo sdks.

    how do i initialize the stack using the JavaBluetooth stack?

    thank you so much in advance.

      Justin,

      I'm afraid USB adapters require additional drivers in order to make them accessible via the javax.comm package. There are currently no available drivers that do this. A Linux USB driver is under early development. A windows driver will eventually follow. Until then you're out of luck with a USB adapter. This was mentioned on the project homepage, but apparently not clear enough. I appologize for the confusion.

        Hi Justin,

      If you're on linux, maybe you could take a look at JBluez (.sf.net) which is a java API for the BlueZ stack. Using it you can access USB devices as well.

      Could anyone tell me if the CSR based bluetooth inbuild on ipaq 3870 could utlize this javabluetooth stack?

      Thanks,
