pc-ble-driver-py are not compatible with v5, but with v3. So you have to use pc-ble-driver tav v2.x and not master branch:

https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/releases

Note: v2.x releases are for SD API v2 & v3, v3.x releases are for SD_API v2 & v5.

so this does install pc-ble-driver-py but when I try and run with it I get

RuntimeError: Failed to locate the pc_ble_driver shared library: /home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pc_ble_driver_py/lib/linux/x86_32/libpc_ble_driver_shared_sd_api_v3.so.

it looks like the pc-ble-driver download only has versions 2 and 5, I assume I want to tell it to use 5 but I'm not sure how to do that.

Thank you

Hi,

Instead of using make, you should use python setup. You should run "python setup.py install" from pc-ble-driver-py\python-folder. Alternatively, you can run "python setup.py sdist" and then "pip install dist/*.tar.gz".
