How to bond between a smartphone and an NRF5 unit for a single secure data link?

[MikeLemon]

Hello everyone,

I'm attempting to "Bond" between a smartphone device and a NRF5 module to have a continues reliable and secure (with password before pairing) data link using the[url=https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-BLEPeripheral]sandeepmistry repo[/url] and the arduino IDE.

Any Idea if possible or how to to that?

Thanks for helping.

Have you tried to ask on the github repo ? We are not people who handling the Arduino library. 

You are looking for bonding with static passkey. I don't know if the Arduino library support it or not. We do have that supported in our SDK. 

This case you can have a look, it mentioned a little bit about requireSecurity() method you can use.

Also great to know that this is even possible! 

Do you maybe have some example for using that with compileable code? Something thatutilizes the UARt intrrface to send and receive data between the units just to get started

As I mentioned, we don't make the Arduino library. Suggest to try our SDK.

Yes I meant for the SDK. I'm always trying to adopt it but it just doesn't seem to have enough study material, tutorial and support around the internet(or google and youtube specifically) So for the basic hardware settings I use arduino believe I'll have to go with the SDK and SES fully at some moment hopefully I'll be easier until then.

Yes, please try. We have an UART example in \examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart so that you can forward data from UART wirelessly via BLE to the peer device.
