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.

 Is it possible to do that? if yes can you please give me some hints?

Edvin just told you that it is possible - and gave you links to the project documentation, and the location of the example in the SDK.

Note the advice to do it on an nRF52840DK first - as development & debugging will be much easier than on a dongle!

Thanks for your reply. I just feel confused about central and peripheral part programming. I will figure it by myself first and return if I have another problems.

They are fundamental Bluetooth concepts (not specific to Nordic) - so certainly worth getting them nailed before proceeding!

Similar to the concepts of USB Host & Device ... 

Any BLE tutorial should cover it; eg,
