Connection between nRF52840 Dongle and MATLAB

[Milo311]

Hi everyone, I am newcommer in here. I just buy one nRF52840 Dongle. I want to connect it with nRF52832 DK with ble_app_uart implemented; and open a COM port in MATLAB to receive data and send commands from MATLAB to the DK. I have read about pc-ble-driver-py but I do not understand how to use it . In addition, about nRF Connect, I have try but I cannot receive any data when I config the generic attributes. Hence, my question is:

Is there any possble way to open COM port in MATLAB and transfer data between DK and dongle (with Nordic UART Service (NUS))?

Thanks in advance.

Getting the dongle to appear as a COM port is a Windows thing - it has nothing to do with Matlab.

You would have to write a Windows driver which presents the connection as a COM port ...

Windows 10 has APIs for accessing BLE: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/devices-sensors/gatt-client - presumably Matlab has means for accessing Windows APIs ... ?

Thanks for your reply. I will take a look on this site.
