How to use PC' Bluetooth to connect nRF52832 by python3.5+PyBluez

[tianbing357]

I have one pca10040 board,  I want to realize the data transfer between the nrf52832 and the PC by BlueTooth, I use python3.5+PyBluez. When the  nrf52832 is running the "ble_app_blinky", PC can find the device by the following codes:

import bluetooth
nearby_devices = bluetooth.discover_devices(lookup_names=True)
print("found %d devices" % len(nearby_devices))
for addr, name in nearby_devices:
    print("  %s - %s" % (addr, name))

I got the following information:

found 3 devices
 7F:81:EC:50:91:41 - 
 CC:2D:83:35:2A:A5 - OPPO R9m
 D2:95:59:B7:E9:2D - Nordic_Blinky

but how could I connect the nrf52832, and send data to it, or receive data from it?

Hi,

We do not have any experience with PyBluez. I recommend that you forward your question to the PyBluez Google Group. There are also some examples in the PyBluez GitHub repository that you can learn from.

If you are using an updated version of Windows 10 you might want to take a look at the Bluetooth LE Explorer application. The source for this app is available on GitHub. There are also a lot of Microsoft resources if you would like to develop with BLE on Windows 10.

Thank you for your suggestion. is there examples for connecting nrf52832 in win7?

Hi,

We do not have any examples for connecting to WIN7. As far as I know there are no BLE drivers in WIN7. Your only option might be to use a dongle.
