[Qt-interest] Bluetooth SPP in Qt

[Gopalakrishna Bhat]

Hi,

I had used Bluez library for programming Bluetooth on Linux PC. I was
unable to find the Qt bindings for this library so called the Bluez's
API directly.

Communicating with a bluetooth device is as simple as opening a socket
connection and communicating.
This might be helpful
