Rf Links


For right now, Bluetooth doesn't have anything useful made for it. RF link however does.

Oh, and "can be used 10 miles away" (on the Lik-Sang RF link) MUST be a lie.
 
RF link has a range of 10metres max... probably more like 3/4...


i know... RF link has erm... maybe one or two commercial games, a beta of gpengine which not many people have, gpasteroids and erm... :p not much else working/on the horizon...

GPbluetooth has erm... no software so far, but it *looks* a lot nicer, it'll probably have 5-10x longer range, and it has the advantage of having a standard protocol (links to your PC, mobile phone, bluetooth keyboard/mouse/joypad...)

my advice is to wait a while... don't take any notice of my post count/join date... i've been here for years... RFlink is a dead end! truly...
 
No offence, but i doubt even bluetooth would have a 10 mile range.. my m8's phone can only scan the network for other phones within a distance of a big room.. call it 10 meters or so
 
I have two RF links and was most disappointed to find that there was no support for them either from Gamepark or any third party developer. I believe Black has written a RF Lib but all attempts at contacting him were futile. So I wrote my own took a whole day to realise it was to slow to do anything useful with.

P.S. Beware of RF Links in UK. They use an illegal frequency.

To contact Black is impossible and it will be cool to make a public RFLink lib !

bluetooth class 1 has a range of 10 meters indeed (which is what mobile phones typically have cos it's less power consuming). class 2 is supposed to go up to 100 meters.
