Hi
I want to get an estimate of the distance a bluetooth device (e.g. cellhone) is from my PC, in Windows. I think the best way is to use the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) HCI command of your Bluetooth device to get an idea of the distance the device is from the PC.
How would I go about retreiving the RSSI data, can you provide me with a code example maybe? Also, in another post it is noted that to do bluetooth HCI interfacing (In windows) you need the microsoft SDK and bluetooth SDK or the free bluetooth stack. However the free bluetooth stack link and the microsoft bluetooth link do not appear to be valid.
Any help will be appreciated,
Regards
