I have a moment of freetime, so I'm cleaning the windows installation on one of my computers for a Silverlight class I will be teaching, and coming up with goals for future projects (reading barcodes with a Windows Mobile camera, using SMS is a data transport for a game, real-time discrete fourier transformation based fourier analysis to produce sheet music from a wave file) and I decided to slip through some unread issues MSDN magazine. In the August issue the Windows Mobile section had an interesting article on a Windows Mobile based lego robot. Very Cool! A useful piece of code I was able to lift from the article deals with Bluetooth communication using the Microsoft stack. I plan to use it to update the Windows Mobile Call Silencer program I wrote so that it can communicate over Bluetooth or WiFi. If you are interested in the WiMoBot check it out at the Microsoft Employee's website at http://www.wimobot.com. There are also some references to some other bluetooth sensors that you can get for developing with yout phone so that you don't have to solder wires to it.
