nRF Connect for Windows 10

[gaminn]

Is there nRF Connect or similar program that enables development of BLE applications for Windows 10 (using native BLE API - ideally universal windows platform)?

Hi Gaminn,

What do you want to do with the tool? Do you need a generic tool with multifunction like what we have with the nRF Connect or you want to develop your own application on Windows 10 to connect to your BLE device ? If you simply want to make an application you can have a look at this heart rate example. It uses the native Windows10 APIs so no dongle required.

Other than that I don't know of any similar tool like nRF Connect on Windows 10.

So, I tried the example you linked on Windows 10. I loaded pca10028 with ble_app_hrs_s110_pca10028. I paired the device in Windows Bluetooth settings. I can see Nordic_HRM in device manager. After I clicked Run in the app you linked a gatt service appears. When I clicked on it I get a message: Access to the device is denied, because the application was not granted access, or the device is currently in use by another application.... It is always the same - BLE on Win simply doesn't work, at least for me. Or did I miss something?
