There are python and java wrappers, but they are not updated to use the newest version of the s140 softdevice, so just use the pc-ble-driver directly, which is written in C: &lt;a href="https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/tree/v4.1.1"&gt;https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/tree/v4.1.1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The newest 4.1.1 release has a precompiled connectivity hex for the nRF52840 dongle. It uses the native USB peripheral on the chip: &lt;a href="https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/tree/v4.1.1/hex/sd_api_v6"&gt;https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/tree/v4.1.1/hex/sd_api_v6&lt;/a&gt; (connectivity_4.1.1_usb_with_s140_6.1.1.hex)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are examples to get started: &lt;a href="https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/tree/v4.1.1/examples"&gt;https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/tree/v4.1.1/examples&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
