HID keyboard template

Hi,

I want to send ASCII characters with ntf51822, what is the softdevice and a HID SDK that can be used as a start point?

Thanks

  • Just to check --- are you trying to interact with another device that is already expecting the HID service? If you are creating both sides of the communication (like writing a mobile app and designing the hardware), you can just use a simpler custom service and send any sort of data you'd like (including ASCII characters).

    HID is ideal if you are working with a device that already supports the HID service at the OS layer. For example, with newer versions of Android you can use HID over BLE in place of a traditional bluetooth keyboard (See devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../).
