Hi David and Les, Yes, my laptop does support Bluetooth. In fact I went through the steps in the focus user guide and completed the pairing successfully. It seems like it should be working.
One question I had is there seems to be some issue of in versus out when configuring the comports. Since the focus may be used for both input and output I'm not certain what the port setting should look like. Right now the settings are 57600,n,8,1 which matches the settings I see under devices in the control panel for the focus. I just don't know where to go next with this problem. I'm ready to say to heck with the Bluetooth and just resign myself to using the display with the USB connection.
