Bluetooth-enabled Network Refrigeration Device

Head on over to Channel9 to check out a sweet demo we put together of a network enabled refrigeration device.

It runs WindowsCE 5.0, supports a USB camera, and [of course] uses the Windows Embedded Shared Source Tools for Bluetooth! :)  With the Bluetooth support, you can pair up your Windows Mobile Smartphone and view the device's inventory and be notified when the door is opened, etc.  Heck, you can even grab a live view from the fridge to see what's left inside!

Spiffiness indeed... how would you use such a device at your home or office?

I thought you said you were a PM... are PMs usually this technical and involved in the code?
do you actually write any code?

Hi Anil,

I would like to ask you about whether it's possible to simultanously communicate two or more Bluetooth headsets with the same Device playing audio(PDA, Laptop etc.) What I want is to write a code in C# that would play an audio file on the WM5.0 running PDA, and have few people with Bluetooth enabled headsets listen simultaneously to wha't playing. Is this feasible, since I can't find any online resource which says that 2 ore more BT headsets can listen from a single device in the same time. Please let me know, if you a comment about this.

Thnx,

Mexhid.

Hi Anil,

I think the Windows Embedded Source Tools for Bluetooth Technology download link is not working.

Could you please point me to another place I can get it?

Thanks

Adriano
