RE: Scripting nRF52840 Dongle test

Hi,

Unfortunately, pc-ble-driver-py does not yet support the nrf52840 dongle.

The pc-ble-driver (written in C) has a feature branch with experimental support, but this has not been updated since the alpha version of S140 v6.

You can run S132 on the nRF52840, as reported in this thread.

What I would recommend is that you look into using a generic bluetooth LE capable USB dongle, and check out bluez (for linux).

Adafruit has a python library available which runs on linux and MacOS: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_BluefruitLE

Kind regards,

Håkon

To follow up my own question, I have discovered this Python library since posting this and it seems very easy to use: https://github.com/peplin/pygatt

It requires the Bluegiga BLED112 dongle (or similar), which I'd have to order... I guess my question still stands though. Is there already a simple Python (or similar) interface for doing standard BLE stuff with a Nordic Dongle?
