Help with bluetooth...

[picuser]

Hi experts,
I'm trying to test this code which basically tries to see if a particular mobile named Microbox is detected. Kindly check it out..

import bluetooth
target_name = "Microbox"
target_address = None
nearby_devices = bluetooth.discover_devices()
for bdaddr in nearby_devices:
    if target_name == bluetooth.lookup_name( bdaddr ):
        target_address = bdaddr
        break

if target_address is not None:
    print "found target bluetooth device with address ", target_address
else:
    print "could not find target bluetooth device nearby"

I'm using Pybluez and
Unfortunately I'm stuck with this error..
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Python26/using_bluez.py", line 4, in <module>
nearby_devices = bluetooth.discover_devices()
File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\bluetooth\msbt.py", line 9, in discover_devices
return bt.discover_devices (flush_cache, lookup_names)
IOError: No Bluetooth adapter detected

I appreciate any help

Does your bluetooth of your phone function properly? What does the standard socket (you are using 1.4.x) return?

Does the output differ after restarting the phone?

Hi Croozeus,
Yes the bluetooth on my phone is working. And as I remembered this is the same code I tried when I used Ubuntu.

I hope you aren't mixing the Pybuez for PC and for S60! Where did you download it from?

If you are using 1.4.x version of PyS60, what does the standard socket module return when you search for devices?

Hi Croozeus, Sorry for the very late reply, I've been out for a while. This is the version I download PyBluez-0.16 and installed to my Xp sp2. When I was using the code on ubuntu it was working and detecting the target cphone. I'm not sure if missed something, cant remember where I downloaded the Pybluez. My PyS60 on my phone is version 1.4.3.

HThis is the version I download PyBluez-0.16 and installed to my Xp sp2.

That means it is not an PyS60 extension...
