[Qt-interest] Bluetooth SPP in Qt

[Robert Wood]

Hi André,

I'm not looking for mobility, I'm looking for how I communicate with the 
Bluetooth on the PC itself. The "mobile" side of it is taken care by 
these smart little modules that I can communicate with via my embedded 
micro's UART.

As far as I understand, there are different communication classes, 
rather like USB. One of them, just like USB, is a virtual com port 
(VCP). With USB there are VCP drivers that make it look like you are 
using a good old fashioned com port like COMx or /dev/ttyUSBx whether 
you're running Unix or Windows.

I'm trying to get a feel for how this works with Bluetooth.

Cheers,

Rob
