Can nrf51822+cp2102 set as a USB dongle

Hi: I have no dongle or any other Dev board such as PCA10031. Can I use nrf51822 and cp2102 as a usb dongle to work with MCU of PC? If the answer is yes, what should I do? Thank you very much!

  • I am using a combination of CP2102 and RF-BM-ND06 NRF52840 bluetooth module for ble-sniffer application.

    But in the nordic connect app I am getting the error Unsupported device with serial number '0001' and traits ["serialport"]. [Windows 10 OS ad I have installed the CP2102 drivers]

  • I'm not sure what are you planing to do. Are you planing to use them as the back end for nRF Connect app or you are planing to use as ble-sniffer application ? 

    Anyway, please create a new case for that. 

  • I am planning to use CP2102 (USB to UART) and RF-BM-ND06 NRF52840 bluetooth module for sniffing BLE packets .

    Or as an alternative for Nordic Bluetooth USB dongle.

    But after connecting the hardware to the Nordic NRF Connect Desktop Application I am getting error as "Unsupported device with serial number '0001' and traits".

    Let me know if there are any steps I am missing.
