If you read many of the posts in the "Bluetooth and Connectivity" thread a majority revolve arround BlueSoleil consistently crashing computers. There seems to be no consistency between situations when this occurs. I found that BlueSoleil had no issues in connecting and or communicating with various Wiimote Projects. Rather it would just randomly crash my whole system even when I wasn't using Bluetooth or Wiimote Projects. (Problem fixed the second I removed the software).

The other issue for myself and teachers is that we stack multiple Bluetooth products ontop of the Whiteboard Project. The main one is a Wacom Bluetooth Graphics Tablet, your software does not allow the Tablet to be used as a Tablet rather restricting it to a mouse type device (this is an issue beyond teh Wiimote Project).

The other barier is inability to Pair with the Wiimote. If Bluesoliel was to stop crashing systems and could pair with a wiimote you would be the software of first choice by Wiimote Project Users!

For teachers (majority of Whiteboard Users) the Tablet issue is significant also but not as much as the others.

Ignoring the instability it is quite a user friendly product with and easy to follow GUI!

What is good:
a) Easy to use interface
b) Choice between Windows Menu Interface & Visual Interface

What needs to be improved:
a) Correct callibration with Wacom Bluetooth Graphics Tablet
BlueSoliel does not allow it to be used as a graphics tablet. With a Widcomm stack I can calibrate the tablet, so if I press & sweep 1cm on the top right hand my cursor will move to the top right hand and sweep 1cm. With Bluesoliel the cursor will not move to the top right hand it will simply sweep 1cm from its existing location.

b) Ability to pair with Wiimote
No need to constantly locate and manually connect with Wiimote (HID). Thus after iniatial pairing, I can turn on my Wiimote, BlueSoliel will identify and connect with it. Just like any standard Bluetooth HID (bluetooth mouse, keyboard, etc).

Let me know if you want more info.

It's great to know that IVT is getting feedback from us.

I am also a Bluesoleil user.
Pairing the Wiimote without constantly searching and reconnecting the Wiimotes will be the ideal situation.
If connection between the Wiimote and the computer can be done by just starting up the Wiimote, the technical boundaries that end users encounter will be greatly relieved. If this can be done, I am sure the Bluesoleil software will garner a bigger user base among the Wiimote users.

Thanks!

I know Bluesoleil is showing some aweseom interest in this project, and I don't want to overload you but...

Will you also be supporting internal Bluetooth Radio's? The HP & Toshiba seem to be the most common. They are essentailly a widcomm stack (rebranded by both Toshiba & HP) but with a another peice of software called a "Bluetooth Emunerator"? (not sure of its purpose).

If you are able to add "auto connect" with a Wiimote anyone, regardless of their bluetooth device will be able to purchase and use your software. Many schools purchase HP & toshiba because of the quality of their hardware support.
