nRF52840 dongle compatible with the nRF52382

[Tanya Dhayagude]

Hi,

I just bought the nRF52840 dongle and I wanted to connect it via bluetooth to the nRF52832 board. Is this possible? or will it only connect to the nRF52840 board (PCA10059)?

Thank you,

Tanya

Yes.

The whole point of standards like Bluetooth is that they are independent of the underlying hardware.

Okay, I have successfully paired the nRF52840 dongle with my nRF52382 board.
I am running the ble_hids_mouse example and am connected to the bluetooth dongle, but when I press the button (BUTTON 1) I am not able to see my mouse moving. 
Do I need to add a USB feature? and if so, how do I go about doing this?

Thanks,
Tanya

This post sounds remarkably similar:

are you both working on the same project ?

Yes. What do we need to do in order for the dongle to read our joystick values?
