How to develop desktop Bluetooth software based on C + + language

[qazmx5741]

Hello!
I recently tried to develop Bluetooth communication based on nrf52840 chip.
It is planned to implement a graphical software program on Windows platform.
We checked the sample source code in GitHub and found that it is a JS app based on Electron, React and Redux
If we use C + + for the same software development, is it feasible?
If feasible, can you provide relevant documents, demo and interface source code?
Thanks again.

Hello,

Is the nRF52840 physically connected to the PC? If so, you may want to look into the pc-ble-driver, which is written in C++ and can be used by C++ applications (there are also wrappers for JS and Python available).

First of all, thank you very much for your help. I don't want to connect to the PC to debug this chip. We are trying to use this chip to develop our own PC software. The function of this software is to insert the device equipped with nrf52840 chip into the PC and collect the data of other Bluetooth peripherals. At present, we want to read the data connected to peripherals from nrf52840. The problem is that the PC sample software provided by the chip manufacturer is written in JS. We want to use C + + to realize the function of this software.

Hi,

The pc-ble-driver allows you to use a nRF52 device connected to the PC as a BLE connectivity device, and it provides APIs in C++. If this is not what you need, then please explain in more detail what you really want as that is not clear for me. How are you going to interface with the nRF52840 from the PC? And how do you intend to use it?

Hello
First of all, we have our own ble4 0's peripheral device.
Then, our hardware engineer wants to use nrf52840 chip to make a Bluetooth receiver and plug the device into the PC device.
At the same time, we need to write a PC software to control the receiver, and then issue commands and read data to our own peripheral devices.
At present, we see that the demo is a program written in JS, and we want to achieve the same function through C + +.
So we want to know whether it is feasible to implement this program in C + +? Is there a relevant demo?

Here is the sample demo we saw。

This sample is written in JS scripting language. We want to implement a similar function in C + +.

OK, good. I see. Then what you want is the pc-ble-driver, and that is the only tool we provide for this. This includes example applications (these are in C, but you are free to use C++).
