Sparki Bluetooth Serial Service

Hi,

I am playing around with Sparki, Windows 10 and the Bluetooth serial port. I have been able to follow along with the tutorials and I can occasionally get it to work. When I pair the module with windows it pairs with no issue, except that it only sporadically shows a com port for bluetooth serial. When there is no port nothing shows up in the services section of the bluetooth properties. Has anyone had any experience with this? Is there a driver or stack that I need to install?

Thanks!

Is there any discernible difference about when it shows the com port, and when it doesn’t? If it shows up at all, that would indicate that the drivers are there, but something is causing it to fail. I presume its not a distance issue. Maybe its a power issue? Does it drop when plugged in via usb?
