Hello, is there a tutorial for configuring Woad with a Windows mini PC running Vara, connected to a Signalink? 
Vara and Signalink work fine, but I can't get Woad to communicate with the mini PC via Bluetooth. 
I saw a video about it, but I can't find it. 
Thank you for your help.

I've never seen that working before.

You may want to give WoAD the IP address of the host that is running VARA.

To do that you edit the session and choose VARA as protocol. Then in
settings you find TNC type and set this to TCP/IP (is usually the only
setting). Then as TNC configuration you set the IP address and the port
that VARA listens on.

Maybe I don't understand your query, but WoAD runs an Android (Winlink on Android Device).
It doesn't run on a PC.  Are you running WoAD on an Android device, and want it to talk to a PC?
