Hi,

I know your pain...
You would think that bluetooth communication between different devices would be painless. It isn't. Faced with the problem some time ago, I started looking at creating drivers for the most popular bluetooth stacks - you can get SDK for Widcomm/Broadcomm, Blue Soleil, etc. for free, but all have a different API...

However, I happened to come accross a framework that made my task much simpler -
http://www.btframework .com/index.htm

It is free to try, but you have to pay if you want to use it commercially...

My intention is to use the SDK from mircrosoft and not the expensive SDK from WIDCOMM to use the bluetooth programming interfaces. But, as I know most pocket PCs with integrated bluetooth chips use the WIDCOMM bluetooth stack. So my questions are as follows: 1) Is it possible to...

The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
