PCA10000 to run nRFUart application in Windows 10

Chen-Hsiang Feng

My goal to build a device that can connect to phone with nRF8001. I am using nRf8001 Development kit. My prototype uses TI msp430 with the nRF270 board in the kit, and I can successfully connect to nRF UART v2.0 in the Andriod table. I tested typing in the NRF UART v.20 terminal in android, and I can successfully get echo from my msp430.

Following is the problem I am working on: Because windows is our main development platform, we want the device to be able to connect windows 10 directly, for debugging and automation test purpose. What I have at windows side is the PCA10000 in the nRF8001 Development kit. I can use Master Control Panel to discover my bluetooth device, and "discover services" did find the "UART over BLE" service.

For our purpose, we need write our program for development. I start from the nRFUart in "Master Emulator" (Ver. 2.1.13.14) example code, and I cannot make it work. Following the result, nRFUart scan never finish:

Any tip, hint or direction on how to resolve this is very appreciated.

    Thank you for your reply!! I looked at the driver, and I think it can provide the functions that I need, especially the Python support. However, I have question that is this driver support PCA10000(the only thing I have so far)? I notice the following statements in the README. If you can point me the combination of HW/SW that test steps are documented and works reliably, I can go to order the kits.

    "The BDD tests require nRF51 hardware connected to the computer. A combination of two devices of the following is required, two of one kind or one of each:

    nRF51 Development Kit (pca10028), or nRF51 Development Dongle (pca10031)"

    At this stage, I need to start with something proven works without excessive change/hack. Either Master emulator or the driver should both fulfill my need, but Master emulator for me seems a short cut, because I can test the UART over BLE without code change on either PC side or device side.

    Thank you again for the help!! Please let me know if you have any instruction that I can try it out.
