I have PDA Module 8.0.1 and an iPAQ hx2790 running Windows Mobile 5.0. I am just starting out with this PDA Module development and so far it has not been a cakewalk.I am running the attached code for the handheld and after overcoming some dll related issues, I have managed to execute the code without any error messages. With a timeout set to 0, the code is supposed to look for the local Bluetooth module on the device and return its address and Bluetooth device name. On my PC, if I run this code, it returns the correct Bluetooth address of my TDK Go Blue USB dongle and the PC name as the server device name. On my PDA, if I run this code, it returns an incorrect address of 00:00:00:00:00:00 and a blank name for the device. On the PC side of things, I can discover my PDA and its proper address just fine. But the code running locally on the device cannot discover its own address. The error indicator returns no error status. With a timeout set to something greater than 0 (like 10000ms), my PC is able to find my PDA just fine. My PDA, on the other hand, cannot find squat.Could the problem be:1) The iPAQ may not be running WIDCOMM drivers? Looking at the driver list, I believe the device may be using Broadcom drivers. However, Broadcom bought out Widcomm so I don't know if this counts.2) PDA Module 8.0.1 apparently requires not only eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 but also some Visual Studio 2005 which I do not have and costs more money. Could the code not be building properly without this?3) Something else?

Setting the timeout to 0 should just return the address of the device's Bluetooth module (i.e. can the device identify itself).

locally installed = any bluetooth radio that is installed on the device that the labview program is running on ... so if you are running it on PDA "1" then it *should* return the address and name of bluetooth radio on PDA "1".

Ok, that makes sense.
