Communication with PC's BT

[Seyma Tutuncu]

I want to establish a BT network system which includes one pc as a central node, and 32 client nodes. I want to collect 32 client's sensor data concurrently via BT. At pc side I want to know which sensor data comes from which node.

For this purpose I bought two Taiyo Yudens EYSHSNZWZ eval kits which includes NRF52832 IC to learn their usage. If this network connection is possible, I will increase the number of modules.

Is there any way to make these connection with these modules?  At pc side should I use any bluetooth hardware or is PC's own BT enough? Also is there any dongle type BLE tool to make  communication between my nrf52832 nodes and PC? And lastly is there any application software for PC to see the data from nodes? Or should I make my own software??

Hello Seyma,

 

 I would recommend you to check out Zephyr since our Softdevice do not support more than twenty connections running concurrently. 

For PC side you can use a nrf51 Dongle or a nRF5x DK(should work with your eval kit as well), and run nrf Connect to connect to the peripherals.

Just to start out testing BLE you could run one of your eval kits with the "ble_app_uart" example (peripheral) and the other one runs the nRF Connect firmware (central).

I see that you have made three different threads about the same question, so I am going to close this case.
