I'm having an issue, and maybe the lucky few who have gotten a DistoX up and running can help me.
I've installed the DistoX board in a Leica A3, and everything works. I just bought an HP iPaq 210, and PocketTopo runs on it.
I used the PDA's connection wizard to identify which port I need to connect to the DIstoX(COM1). The PDA sees the DistoX at COM1, so I know the Bluetooth is operating on the DistoX. When I try to connect using the HP connection wizard, it prompts me to "enter a PIN code to pair with the device DistoX". Entering nothing accomplishes nothing. So the connection fails. I've set the port in Pocket Topo, and when I try to begin the calibration process, PocketTopo indicates the connection failed. Nothing happens when I try to manually or automatically connect in PocketTopo.
I've tried deselected anything in the Bluetooth profile that might require authentication, without effect. Does anyone have any suggestions, or know what the PIN code might be? There's is no discussion of this at Beat's website. And yes, I've emailed him.
Thanks! jl
