Sending sensor data from nrf52840 to computer via bluetooth

[siddarth]

Hi,

I am a beginner in BLE development. I am just getting started with the XIAO nRF52840 sense board. I wanted to send the IMU sensor data from the nrf52840 controller to the computer via bluetooth. Most examples and queries are only available on sending data to mobile phone apps. Is there any reference available to start with for this problem?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

My understanding is that working with bluetooth is that Linux is much easier than windows. Most examples I see use Linux and the bluez package to get bluetooth working. Here is "a desktop application that can be used to communicate with an nRF device over Bluetooth® Low Energy using the Nordic UART Service (NUS) shell transport". I think this would be a good reference to start with.

I haven't personally worked with this. I'm assuming you don't have a computer running Linux natively, but it may be able to work if you use Linux in a VM or just dual-boot it.
