n51822 to PC comport

[ereichwe]

I have device from another company that has a n51822 chip for BLE UART communication and it can send data to my phone via an app with no problems. However, I am having difficulty getting the same functionality on my PC. I have tried many things but I can't seem to get the raw data into serial form in a com port on my computer. I am using a generic bluetooth dongle and running win7 or Ubuntu.

Thank you.

It is answered here devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ More details in here devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../a00077.html Read "Test steps" from step (5). Otherwise you need to write your application.

As mentioned by Alex, we have example to interface with the ble_app_uart example from pc. However it's made for the nRF51 dongle (or the PCA10000) and won't work with normal bluetooth dongle. You may need to use the API provided by the bluetooth dongle vendor. (and make sure it supports Bluetooth 4.0 ).

@Hung Bui: I bought the nRF51 dongle but it doesn't have a USB plug. How am I suppose to plug it into my computer? Solder on a USB port?

@Ereich: Could you take a photo of your nRF51 dongle that doesn't have USB port ?

Hi, I have the same problem and I have no solution. Are you found the solution to connect to PC com port with generic ble dongle?
