Re : nRF52832 and dongle commuication

[amur9465]

Hello Everyone,

i have got a steamVR tracker kit which has a bluetooth module  Nordic nRF52832-QFAA 2.4GHz Radio SoC with Cortex M4 Processor  and the trackers are connected through a steam wireless dongle.

i have come to know that dongle supports only one device to be connected at a time.but i am using 8 trackers and i don't want to connect it through 8 USB ports which is inefficient and lot of problems. so i wanted to know if the nRF5240 dongle supports many to one communication and i wanted to know the protocol between them. 

how can i go on connecting 8 trackers sending data to a single wireless dongle.

Hi Amur, 

The NRF52840 can communicate with multiple devices at the same times. If the softdevice is used, the maximum simultaneous links is 20. 

However, we are not the people who develop the steamVR tracker firmware/software, we only make the nRF52832 chip. So we have no idea what's inside the tracker or how it works, which protocol it uses. You would need to contact Steam to know what they do and what you can do with their product.
