How to connect to a Windows 8 PC

[Andreas]

Hello,

I`ve got a working S120 peripheral BLE device with custom services and characteristics. I am able to connect and bond with iOS and Android. But I cannot connect to Windows7 / Windows8. The device will not be visible in the windows device API. I did some research with some other BLE devices (custom raspberryPI as BLE device). There I get a working connection by the windows device API.

I found this other DevZone topic regarding Windows8 connection: link text

But when I change the

m_sec_params.kdist_periph.enc = 1; m_sec_params.kdist_periph.id = 1; m_sec_params.kdist_periph.sign = 0;

parameters as suggested, I can not bond my device to Android or iOS any more...!? Do you guys have any idea? Where is my mistake?

Can you see the device advertising on Windows at all? Is it just so that you can't pair with it? If so I had the same problem. Implementing a device manager helped. There's an example showing how it's done.

Hello, sorry but I don`t know how to implement a device manager on my peripheral application. For me, the device manger is a software module that handles connections from a central device to a peripheral device. Is there an example, where the device manager is used in a peripheral application?

On which points is the difference between a peripheral with device manager and an peripheral without device manager, referenced to the windows connection problem!? Thanks in advance!
