This is a followup to Shannon's Bluetooth email. I don't think the COM port services had anything to do with the problem, actually. After powering off my NXT brick and powering it back on (while leaving the Lego software going), it failed to establish a connection with the computer and the Lego software says "Unavailable". For kicks, I tried connecting using the NXT brick and the brick display said "Line is busy".
To get it working I selected "Remove" for the NXT Bluetooth connection in the Lego software. Once it's gone, close the Lego software and turn off the NXT. Turn on NXT. Run the Lego software and select SCAN. Connect. Enter the codes (and try to hit the orange button really fast on the NXT when it pops up - it didn't work a few times). From there it worked fine for me. I guess the moral of the story is don't turn off the NXT brick once you get a Bluetooth connection going. I still haven't figured out if this is an older firmware problem or a Logitech driver problem. - Brian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Bagnall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2006 3:36 PM Subject: Re: [Lejos-discussion] Clicking Brick and Bluetooth > Hi Shannon, > > I had some problems with my Logitech Bluetooth dongle which uses the > Logitech Bluetooth solution (not the default Windows XP solution).
