 I would like my BLE device to connect to the PC via a BLE USB adapter. How do I do this? How does this work? Will my BLE device act as a peripheral and connect to the adapter which would be a central? Is this why it maintains a dedicated connection</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 15 Jul 2019 11:09:56 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/49727/ble-usb-adapter" /><item><title>RE: BLE USB Adapter</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/198424?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jul 2019 11:09:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:c826db10-ca98-4280-b595-057fad3a4e84</guid><dc:creator>Simonr</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Our&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Development-Kits/nRF52840-Dongle"&gt;nRF52840 Dongle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;is able to connect to any BLE device and has a variety of examples, both to act as a peripheral and a central. You can use it to communicate with the PC over, for example, UART, SPI, etc.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nordic does not provide any USB C or cell phone compatible dongles I&amp;#39;m afraid, but there are probably some out there. I don&amp;#39;t know what you want your Dongle to do exactly, but in order to use gatt services, HID and custom services you would need to modify our example code in order to use them all. &lt;a href="https://github.com/bjornspockeli/custom_ble_service_example"&gt;This custom service example&lt;/a&gt; is great for learning how to develop your own custom services etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Depending on what firmware you flash onto an nRF52 Dongle you should be able to connect it to another device both automatically and &amp;quot;manually&amp;quot;. We have &lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Software/nRF5-SDK"&gt;examples for both in our SDK&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Due to the summer holidays in Norway, our support team is understaffed this week, and delayed replies must be expected. Sorry for the inconvenience!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
