This is a tutorial and update with my windows 8 updating to windows 8.1 " free update" that takes a long time, and ARC. I could not connect to ARC with my old parameters. I had to do a "refresh list" of com ports and "change" from com port 5 to port 3 and was able to connect. Your com ports may vary. try the lower one of your refreshed list. After that my project ran successfully. Maybe this will help someone else performing the windows update. Thank You, Steve S
Antron007 You are correct. Each Windows PC has a memory bitmap area that keeps track of what ports are used or available to assign a com port for Bluetooth USB use. Each PC may have different ports assigned for different applications that have been installed.
