RedBear nano v2 as Dongle

[mrmrtowers]

Hello, Is it possible to use a RedBear V2 with the DAPlink as a Bluetooth dongle, apparently, the DAPlink can function as a USB-UART bridge. I'm new to SoC and am trying to use the Redbear to connect nRF52832 powered smartwatches to a Raspberry Pi.

What do you mean by that? 

"SoC" simply stands for "System on Chip" ...

The DAPLink is a Redbear product - so you'd have to contact them for support with that. In particular, whether it would work with RPi

If it does, indeed, give you a USB-to-UART bridge (which is entirely feasible and commonplace), then this project would be no different to just using a separate USB-to-UART link; eg, an FTDI cable.

So you'd have to write code on the RPi to talk to a serial port, and code on the module to be controlled via the UART.

Or just use an RPi with built-in Bluetooth ...
