Connecting to Nordic Thingy using Android Things

[Arjun G]

I would like to connect the Android Things NXP Pico board to the Nordic Thingy 52 using Bluetooth and get  all sensor data from the thingy. 

The Android Things board will act as the gateway to push the sensor data to the cloud. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I once implemented a BLE scanner with Android Things and a Raspberry Pi 3. It was just a scanner scanning for sensors that advertised data, and no connections or GATT services etc. I used the steps found in this documentation to get it up and running. I also found this blog post: Android Things - Communicating with Bluetooth Low Energy devices, and this community is worth paying attention to.

Thanks for the reply Martin. 

I'm going through the blog. It's useful since this is the first time I am working on bluetooth. 

I hope to get it working this week. I'll share the code on github once it works.

Good luck and have fun!
