Windows 10 LESC?

Rocky

Has anyone been able to use the LE Secure Connections feature with Windows?

I see that there are some planned improvements in the Windows 10 creators update, but don't see any mention of BLE 4.2 or LESC. I am working on a product that currently uses the BLED112 dongle with Windows, but this dongle doesn't support 4.2/LESC. In fact, I don't see any dongles on the market that support 4.2.

Any tips or thoughts on how to implement LESC on a Windows machine would be greatly appreciated.

    I posted a similar question on the Microsoft forum and got this response.

    Hi! Windows 10 Creators update does not yet support Bluetooth 4.2. LE Secure Connections along with other 4.2 features will come to a future release. Thanks!

    So, yeah, the nRF51 dongle might be the best bet for now. The problem is that it isn't really in a commercialized package (like the BLED112). Also, I am not sure if it has fully been through approvals for general commercial use. It would be great if someone made a commercialized dongle with the new nRF52840, but I don't see anything yet. The pc-ble-driver is a nice interface to the dongle, so that would work well.
