Centrafuse Bluetooth Chip / USB Device Compatibility

[RiC0MD]

From what I'm seeing, we can count out both the Belkin 12-1 and 13 units listed in post
Bluetooth Dongles

ARGH, there's 40$ down the drain.

Umm, so why not just use the Broadcom stack?

i just today have tried to get the centrafuse 2.rc working with the belkin f8t013 bluetooth but i can't get it work with bluesoleil software in centrafuse.

I can confirm that you'll have the same problems on the 012-1, I tried it last night.

As far as why they dont use the Broadcom stack any longer, what I think happened is since it looks like the people that created Phoco.NET took the ball home, and are no longer dev'ing the interface to the current BT stacks in windows. So they went with the new stack from bluesoleil which also has an SDK. It does break current hardware to a degree, but in the end I think provide them with a lot better control over the bluetooth interfaces.

Although I'm not thrilled that this RC has a trial of the stack that only permits 5MB of throughput. I imagion I could probably use my bluetooth GPS for about 5-10mins before hitting that cap :/

the trial mode is only in this release candidate, we are working out the license details and will have it fixed as soon as possible...

the included stack should support most every dongle, you can load the INF file that comes with it and see the list, it supports many chips, surprised it doesn't work with yours...

It supports most all CSR and Broadcom based dongles...

I have a Belkin F8T012 adapter and it does NOT work. It used to work fine with the old PhoCo phone module.

I hope that there is support added for these adapters in the next release.

i also have tried this http://www.wiili.org/forum/bluesolei...ters-t794.html option to edit the inf file from bluesoleil and i just can't get mine work.

i think i buy another bluetooth adapter
any suggestions wich brand/type i need to get it work with centrafuse?

I have this same adapter, if it is supposed to work, can you tell us the recommended way to get it working?

-I installed the New CF 2.0 with a clean slate, no old CF no previous bluetooth stack/drivers.

-I installed CF 2.0 and then plugged in my bluetooth, Vista asked for a driver, so I guess the bluetooth that comes with CF is just a stack, but not a driver pack of any kind, and the only way I know how to get the drivers installed is an EXE file I got from Belkin's site which also loads their bluetooth stack.

-CFs bluetooth stack still says it can't see my bluetooth device, even though the drivers are installed fine now, is that because I installed the Belkin's bluetooth stack after?

A guide on how to properly install, and how to use the new Bluetooth stack would really help!

Anyone get this model working!?!?!??!?! I DONT WANNA BUY ANOTHER ONE!

I haven't even installed 2.0 yet becaue my carPC is in pieces right now, but after seeing this post. I'm already upset and disappointed.

I just bought the Belkin F8T013-1 BT a couple weeks ago and was just waiting to open it up when the new BT function for phone was implemented.

I have no way of returning it either. I bought it because this thread Bluetooth Dongles said it was fully functional.

I realize that this post was for PhoneCO, but how can you and upgrade software without at least supporting what was supported in PhoneCo.

Like RiCOMD said, I'm now out of that money.

The Belkin F8T013 isnt work. I tested now much. But we will probably have ourselves to buy a new stick.
Do all of DLink do go or have to be it the DLink DBT-120? It gives also a DBT-122. Goes also?
