Sending Characteristic value to pc via UART using DK PCA10028

[Pablo G]

Hello there,

I've been struggling to find a way to read IMU values from my custom PCB. This PCB sends a notification as shown in this image:

My main objective is implementing a python code that makes my nRF51 DK connect to this device and read its characteristic:

I've been trying to program the DK to read from this characteristic and send any bytes received (I'm sending 12 bytes from my custom PCB) via uart so I can just read from my computer as it comes with a python program that reads from the COM port. I found this post but I'm not really understanding how to tell the program which device needs to connect to and which characteristic I want to read.

I would be grateful if someone could give me clear directions about what needs to be done or let me know about another post that may be helpful. 

Thank you :)

Seems like you are looking for the pc-ble-driver, if i understood your question correctly.

I was checking pc-ble-driver repo, but I always get stuck in this part of the installation instructions:

> cd build
> cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 <Win64>" <-DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR="<Boost libs path>>" ..
> msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj </p:Configuration=<CFG>>

I don't see any build/ directory...

There is a clear guide on the installation dependencies and building the driver here. Have you already followed it?  There are also released tags you can find here with precompiled binaries.
