nrf_uart example with windows phone 10/windows phone 8.1

Hello! I am trying to get windows phone work with nrf_uart example on nrf51 dk board (pca10028). I am using SDK 9.0 with S110 softdevice ver. 8.0.0.

I was using examples with and without bonding but i can't get windows phone to work with nrf. Windows phone can connect only while pairing, but when i run nrf_toolbox app provided by app store - i cant send and receive any informations. After few seconds i run application i don't receive anything and phone disconnects from nrf and i can't do anything (there's no response from clicking connect button in application). The only thing i can do is to unpair and pair device again. But anyway, when i'm connected i don't receive anything.

This thing happens to windows10 phone. When i use windows phone 8.1 it's better - application is remaining connected to nrf, but still i can't receive any informations.

The same thing is with hrs example. Everything works fine on android phone and nrf_toolbox app.

I was trying to make sniffer trace, but i can't receive sniffed packets. Sniffer is able to receive informations only when devices are disconnected. When i connect my phone to nrf - sniffer can't sniff anything.

Is anyone able to help me ? I used standard example from sdk. Maybe anyone can provide any solution or working example of nrf program working with windows phone?

Thank you!

  • Windows 10 will disconnect from the peripheral device after a few seconds if there is no activity from the app. This is a "feature" of Windows 10. It is very inconvenient, and we will try to make a workaround for it.

    You should be able to send data to the nRF with Win 10, the same way you do with Win 8. I'm not sure why it is not working. It seems like the sniffer is not able to track the connection. The nRF Sniffer has some issues, we are working on them. There are however some tricks you can try in this question.

    Sending data from the nRF to Win 8/10 is not implemented, we will try to implement this as soon as possible.
