BLE control from PC and 2way communication

[Arjun D S]

Is there any way to control BLE shield 2.1 from PC rather than android / iOS app.

Also if i pass any message to BT dongle how to check the received messages.

And in app can I see the status of pin, whether high or low. For example if LED bulb is on or off which is connected to pin13.

I don't know what firmware is running on the BLE Shield, but you can probably connect to it using Master Control Panel for PC, and the nRF51 Dongle.

If you want to use a regular BT dongle, you can check out this thread: redbearlab.zendesk.com/.../43527505-Are-there-any-examples-of-connecting-to-the-BLE-mini-to-a-desktop-windows-8-1-

Thank you Stian, is 2 way communication possible with Master Control Panel?

[Stian Røed Hafskjold]

Yes you can both write to characteristics and read from them using Master Control Panel
