Uart tool for Windows 10 software

[jerry]

Hi,

 I have a product that contains a nrf52832. I am able to send and receive data to a phone using the nrFToolbox Uart app. I need to be able to communicate with the product from a Windows 10 tablet. Preferably a program written in Visual Basic that I can modify using Visual Studio. Everything I try from Github, doesnt seem to work. I found many programs that communicate with serial com protocol. However, I set up the product with the nrf52832 to contunually send characters out to Bluetooth. On my PC I see the device and it says its paired. However, when I use a simple PC terminal program to connect to a com port, I dont see any data coming in. Browsing the development zone, I dont see any solutions for this that works. I would think there are many users that need to be able to communicate to a device from a Windows PC. I am not an expert in Bluetooth or Windows program development, but if I have a working WIndows Forms program or similar, I could probably use and modify it,

Thanks,

Jerry

Correct, this is what we support from a Windows side. I'm sure there are multiple Windows applications that support BLE directly with devices, but we have not developed one, as we focus on solutions for our products. You will need an application that handles the incoming BLE data and outputs it into I.E. a terminal or GUI for you to be able to see/use. We do not have something like this I'm afraid.

Best regards,

Simon

Thank You for your reply. However, as an Android phone or IOS phone has capability to detect and connect to a Bluetooth device, so does a Windows PC or Tablet. I'm sure this request for support on this has come up before. Maybe you should bring it up in your next internal meeting.

Hi Jerry

That's noted and I've added it as a feature request in our internal systems.

Best regards,

Simon
