Hi,

The python bindings seems to be exactly what I need. I have downloaded the package from github, but when I run "python setup.py install" as instructed in the README file I encounter the error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'skbuild' on execution of line "from skbuild import setup" in the setup.py script. Please advise me how to get further.

You can install requirements using this command:

pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

But it would be simpler to just install pc-ble-driver-py from PyPi in the first place:

pip install pc-ble-driver-py

Hi, and thank you for your answer. Though, these solutions seems to be mostly aimed at development. The product that I am looking for is rather an enabler for a simple system that can be distributed as a product that can be installed by customers themselves on standard PC:s, so that they can see the nearby Bluetooth advertising devices. I can use a specified dongle with my own software, but it must not require technical skills to install. Segger, J-link and such is not of interest, rather plain serial communication or similar.
