First let me say how thankful I am for this forum! I don't post often but have been reading it every day for years.

Working with a device that sends an iBeacon with information every 5 minutes. I'm needing to create a program that receives the information and then I can process it. The manufacture has supplied to me what each of the bytes in the iBeacon are I just need to come up with a way to receive them.

I tested setting up a virtual COM port for the Bluetooth and then used the MSCOMM control but nothing is received. Thinking it's because it's not a device that is paired with Windows. These devices do not pair - only send out the iBeacon.

I've read a lot about iBeacon and what it sends but have not been able to figure out a way to receive these in VB6.

Has anyone attempted this / has any sample code to receive these?

Thanks!
