Hi,

The PC version of nRF Connect does not support scripting either. If you need to script Bluetooth communication from a computer for testing, I would suggest looking into something like BlueZ on Linux or similar (there is also the pc-ble-driver-py, but that is based on the old SoftDevice and no longer maintained).

I'd like to ask this again with a twist. Can i script commands from the PC version of nRF Connect? There is some information online using python, but it is dated.

Hi Dinesh,

Thanks for the reply and suggestion. We're taking the embedded approach and modifying the nRF52832 firmware to execute all the functions based on a single command from the nRF Connect app.

Hi sterrant,

We currently don't support this. We have near-ish plans to reform the DFU UI and allow for an 'Expert' UI with a set of steps to perform. But we don't have plans to add scripting at the moment. I guess you could try to use one of our PC libraries and write the script yourself in a programming language?
