[quote user="Joost Voorhaar"]Okay, that's clear, thanks. However... how am I supposed to set up the connection between this terminal software and a remote device that has NUS peripheral enabled?[/quote]

I saw the below comment, which is the only one I can think of also:

So you need to build the central NUS example for a DK, then you can for instance hook this DK to a PC and run a terminal window (e.g. serial terminal, putty or teraterm) to send and receive serial data to the NUS peripheral.

I think so too yeah, but I would appreciate an answer from nordic (just not to get my hopes up ;)).

I wrote some "modem" software using adafruit libraties (just because it's simple), running on an nRF52840 dongle. Great stuff, but I no longer have access to a J-Link so I cannot replace the bootloader on my current dongles anymore (which is needed for the adafruit stuff). Gotta rewrite the thing info ncs I'm afraid. Would have really liked if Nordic took that task from me 🙂
