    Hi all,

    BUMP.

    Maybe I asked the question the wrong way.

    For all of you who are using the eb500 wireless bluetooth modem, what bluetooth wireless modem are you using on the PC end?

    Tom,

    If you go to the following page on our website we list a compatible Bluetooth Adapter for your PC and link to it. This is what is often used with the Microsoft Robotics Studio. I hope this helps. Take care.

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for the input.

    I have looked at the Dlink product, but was hoping that other eb500 users might have other product suggestions based on real world use.

    Has anyone used the Linksys USBBT100 Class 1 Bluetooth USB Adapter with the eb500?

    The DLink product has been in use for quite a while with Macs. I used several for a long time before Apple started including Bluetooth in their computers. It worked fine. The only problem I had with it was that the printing on the device rubbed off over a year or two. I have a eb500 around here somewhere and the DLink adapter was the one I used with it originally.
