Hi,
does firmware or example source code exist for the PCA10000 USB dongle that implements the Bluetooth HID host? I would like to use it as receiver for the Nordic Smart Remote 2 Eval Kit running the HID over GATT (device) application.

Hi,
It will connect and exchange data with the MasterControlPanel, but it will not act as a normal HID keyboard. The MasterControlPanel is made to debug your link and see if all your bits and bytes are correct, in terms of advertising/charateristics/data validation and other parameters. This is a debug solution only.
If you'd like to test your keyboard in it's natural environment, you will have to get a PC with Windows 8 (officially supports BLE HID-over-GATT) which has a certified bluetooth 4.0 (dongle or on-board).
Best regards Håkon

Does this mean that the PCA10000 USN stick does not transmit any Bluetooth 4.0 information? I just want to see if my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 can see any Bluetooth 4 device?
The PCA10000 can be used as a bluetooth 4.0 master emulator tool for verifying and debugging your bluetooth low energy peripheral device (slave).
If you want to connect to a device with your phone, you should use the PCA10001 (the larger board) and program it with, for instance, the "ble_app_hrs" example application in our SDK.
Thank you Hakon. So the PCA10000 doe not send out any Bluetooth 4.0 information. I just want to confirm that my Note 3 can see some sort of Bluetooth 4.0 device. The Laird BL600 DK I have also does not seem to transmit anything, so I have no way of knowing if my phone can see anything.
Hi Andre,
How are you searching for the device? Note that a conventional search for bluetooth devices may not list bluetooth low energy devices.
Instead, try discovering using "nRFutility" app in play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nordic.nordicbleapp&hl=en
Hi, just tried that. It said the app is compatible with my device, the Note 3. When I run the app, it gives me a "Device is not supported" error message and then closes down. Running 4.3
