Which tool to use for scripting nRF connect dev board using python

[mr_jj]

I wish to automate the nRF connect tool using python, e.g. perform a scan, connect to a device, discover the services and write some data. Is this possible? I have stumbled across this tool but I'm not sure what exactly I can do with this.

Hi,

pc-ble-driver-py is made for this purpose, it is a serialization library for the softdevice API over a serial interface. nRF Connect use the Node.JS bindings version of pc-ble-driver, pc-ble-driver-js, for its BLE operations. You can find some examples of how to use pc-ble-driver-py in this directory.

Best regards,

Jørgen

Hi Jørgen,

I have the same goal as mr_ji : "to automate the nRF connect tool using python, e.g. perform a scan, connect to a device, discover the services and write some data."

The examples you gave in your response don't connect to a device, they don't discover the services and they don't read/write some data. So I'm looking for a documentation to understand how to do it myself. I couldn't find any, could you tell where to search ?

Best regards,
