I don't know how bluetooth works on linux but on Windows and Mac you get a list of serial ports for bluetooth that exist even when no bluetooth device is associated with them. Maybe if you are not actually using the port it will show up?

Thanks for your answer Martin.

When i create comport object i receive this error:

[comport] ** ERROR ** could not get termios-structure of device /dev/ttyS0 [comport] opening serial port 0 failed!

I connected my phone using bluetooth, started transferring a file and in that moment sent the [devices] message to comport, what i got in the console was: /[comport]: available serial ports:/

Any ideas? I just need to detect the bluetooth device and get the signal strength...

Thanks you!!

If you send a [devices( message to [comport] it will print  a list
of available ports in the console. If your bluetooth device is in
the list you can open it using the name it has in the list.

    Hi everybody,

    I would like to connect my mobile with a pure data patch, my main
    objective is just get the strength of the signal, ie if the
    mobile is
    near the pc or far.

    Exist any object in pure date in order to achieve this? I was
    searching
    and found him and comport objects, but i couldn't manage to make
    it work.

    Thanks you!

    Cheers,
    Sebastián
