I have finished implementing the bluetooth application for the robot. On the server side, I used Windows 7 as an OS with MS-BT-Stack, as well as C # as a language with the library "In Hand". The goal was to connect the robot via bluetooth when it is in range.
Just like an extension, I tried to read the signal level to determine how far the robot is (estimated). Ok, while googling (and search on stackoverflow is ^^ too), I found out that you cannot do this with my BT stack. Since then, I have tried to figure out a workaround for calculating or estimating signal strength (or distance).
Something like sending a byte via bluetooth and see how long the response time is. Although I did not implement it due to lack of time, but does anyone think this is a good idea? Or are there other thoughts about the problem?
I really appreciate any input.
Thank!
