SW to test Bluetooth

Post by elenoide » Wed Mar 04, 2009 8:00 am

Hi. I'm looking for a SW to test the strength of Bluetooth. Does someone know a programm to do it. There are many for WiFi but I can't find any for BT.

Thanks in advance.

Strength of bluetooth? The protocol? Some encryption scheme used when transferring data across two BT endpoints? What are you talking about?

Ok, I din't explain it very well. I have to test the scope and the resistance to interferences of a bluetooth connection in different situations. One device is fix and the other is moved across a room or a corridor, with or without walls between them, with and without disturbances... That is the experiment.

Can someone help me to find a software to do it? Thanks.

He's wanting the signal strength of bluetooth device. Here's some ruby code that looks like it'll give you what you want:
