 I am being assigned to the task of searching the internet for the source code to make nRF52840 connect with the Desktop</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 06 Oct 2020 12:16:33 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/66718/how-to-connect-nrf52840-ble-in-a-desktop-app" /><item><title>RE: How to connect NRF52840 BLE in a desktop app?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/273219?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 06 Oct 2020 12:16:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:47e10499-03a7-44eb-a953-16304e4d90bd</guid><dc:creator>Kenneth</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Check out the app and source code by Microsoft here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/bluetooth-le-explorer/9n0ztkf1qd98?activetab=pivot:overviewtab"&gt;https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/bluetooth-le-explorer/9n0ztkf1qd98?activetab=pivot:overviewtab&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then you can use the native BLE in the desktop to connect to a peer device such as nRF52840.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In terms of what firmware to program to the nRF52840 that will depend on what application you want to develop, but a good starting point may be the simple BLE blinky or nRF UART examples:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/ble_sdk_app_blinky.html"&gt;https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/ble_sdk_app_blinky.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/ble_sdk_app_nus_eval.html"&gt;https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/ble_sdk_app_nus_eval.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that if you need to support bonding I recommend to check out the heart rate sensor example:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/ble_sdk_app_hrs.html"&gt;https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/ble_sdk_app_hrs.html&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
