Drivers for BT 4.0

[Robert]

Hello, I am using nRF51422EvKit with Heart Rate Monitor example. Device is detected by PC (Windows 7) but in device manager appear "External Bluetooth device" with marking "Drivers is not installed.". I have broadcom module and drivers from this vendor. I suppose this profile is not supported by Broadcom. So which profiles can be used in Windows 7 to trasfer data through BLE...or how write driver to HRM profile?

Hi Robert,

You mention nRF51422. This chip can do both ANT and BLE heart rate. Have you loaded the "ble_app_hrs" example + S110 softdevice onto the chip?

The example projects that are provided with the MasterEmulator installation is for the PCA10001 dongle included in our dev and ev-kits. If you program the PCA10001 dongle with the master emulator .hex file (covered in the user guide), then the PC app should work.

Note: These are examples provided as a proof-of-concept and are not meant to be used for anything production worthy.

An alternative solution is to connect the heart rate with a phone (android or iOS) using one of the apps that we've put on appstore/play store.

Best regards Håkon
