The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Bluetooth signal strength

Asked by datacore99 in Bluetooth

Tags: bluetooth, signal, strength

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
