Bluetooth HC-05. CSR 4.0 + Windows 10. No dice.
Buriedcode:
Hi,
After years of wanting to add bluetooth connectivity to some projects I finally got around to buying a bluetooth dongle (one of those CSR 4.0 ones) and a HC-05 bluetooth module. The dongle works just fine - works with my DIY bluetooth speaker - that shows a pop-up in windows from the CSR harmony software. Audio streaming seems to work flawlessly.
However, whilst I can pair the HC-05 module with my PC, I cannot open either of the ports it creates in device manager, nor can I connect to it in any way. I set the HC-05 in command mode and changed its name, password and baud (to 115200), so the module is definitely working, it responds to AT commands, and the host PC can see it for pairing - a windows 10 thing?
Has anyone successfully opened the com ports/communicated with a HC-05 on windows 10? Since I'm using a CSR-based host adapter (which only works with CSR harmony software from 2012) I'm guessing it is either that or a windows 10 problem.

Unfortunately I don't have a broadcom chipset, and the only drivers for the CSR chipset are installed.

I think I came across that blog post whilst googling - I don't have the same options as he did (I think he has an older version of win10) and I can add as many com ports as I like to the bluetooth connection - none of them are accessible by any terminal program. I even wrote a test app in visual studio (C#) and just got the same error. I also tried toe bluetooth serial app - no com ports were available despite adding two (as well as the two it already assigned) to the device.
I think the HC-05 and 06 actually connect to host once a host app opens its virtual comp port - as I cannot do that, it remains "unconnected" in the bluetooth options. It works well with my android phone - so it must be a windows problem :-//

Frankly I doubt Win10 could have problems with CSR chipset. Uninstall the driver (remove the files if possible) and reboot, insert the BT dongle into the usb socket and watch what happens..
