Connecting NRF52840 DK with PC through BLE

I am currently trying to connect the NRF52849 developing board with my PC through bluetooth. My problem is that I cannot access the data through the software TeraTerm on a 'standard serial over bluetooth link' so I can access the incoming data from the board. I am able to connect the board to the nrf connect application. But I need the data to be transferred on virtual comport so I can access the data and process it by a python program.

Is there any software or method I can use so that from my PC I can read and process the data coming from nrf board by bluetooth?

  • Hi,

    Your requirements are not fully clear to me from your description. Do you get the data through the serial port and need this data into a Python application, or do you need to control the BLE device through the serial port? If you get the data through the serial port, you can use pyserial directly in your Python application.

    If you need to control the BLE device from the Python application, you should look into our pc-ble-driver-py library.

    Best regards,

  • Hi, thanks for the reply.

    My requirements are;  I want to send the data from the nrf board to the PC by Bluetooth. My main concern is how to read the data from my PC without the need of nrf connect apps.

    Maybe if it helps to explain my requirements: I used a similar device that uses bluetooth protocol, which is the HC05 bluetooth module, that is able to pair with the PC and send data to 'standard serial over bluetooth link comport' and read the data by using the pyserial library. But know I'm trying to do it with nrf52 DK, but for some reason I cannot pair it with the PC. I was using the ble_uart_app to connect the board with the PC.
