I&amp;#39;m using an arduino connected to the BLE shield.
The computer is a Winows 7 laptop with a bluetooth 4.0 dongle attached to it.

&lt;p&gt;However, this is not a solution for end-user products, as the Master Emulator is not a qualified Central.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you need this for such product, I think your best option is to implement a custom Central solution based on a dongle using the S120 Central SoftDevice, and some UART protocol to talk between a PC application and the nRF51822. You could also try using a regular Bluetooth 4.0 capable dongle, but I&amp;#39;m afraid I don&amp;#39;t really know about any API that allows you writing custom applications using such dongle on Windows 7.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
