Received an error message while trying to establish a Bluetooth client

Hello Carl,

I faced similar a problem few days back and after my research I found that in my case there was a channel mismatch between the Bluetooth Client.vi and the Bluetooth server. Actually error 42 is a hint towards channel mismatch.

I think your problem can be solved by choosing the correct channel in the Bluetooth client. You may try to find out the channel being used by the server.

In order to find the channel, you can try following –

1. You can either use 'Bluetooth RFCOMM Service Discovery VI' available in the client to query the channel being used, OR,
2. Try to find out the channel from the computer hosting the Bluetooth server vi.

Hope this information helps to fix the problems you are facing.

Regards,
