Hi,
I have a Kensington Bluetooth USB Adapter 2.0, model 33348.
I installed the software that came with the adaptor and I verified that the
driver installed was version 4.0.1.2400.
I am able to establish a connection from the NXT to the PC as I see the icon <>
at the top of the NXT screen. However, I can't establish a connection from the
Lego NXT software!
When I click on scan, my NXT is found. At some point, when I clicked on connect,
I was asked to enter a pass key, and I would answer with the same pass key on
the NXT itself, but after some delay, I would get a connection error from the
Lego NXT software. Now, all I get is a connection loss error.
Any insight on what must be done?
It's my first experience with Bluetooth, so I don't know if I should be doing
anything special with the configuration of bluetooth serial ports, both from a
local services and a client applications stand point.
I sure hope someone can help me!
Thanks,
Bruno
