HID Mouse Example - Can't Pair with Windows 10

[ilkobg]

I want to run the HID Mouse and Keyboard examples on nRF51 Dongle. How I can configure it first, to connect with my PC via Bluetooth and second, to configure the GPIOs act like buttons, since the dongle doesn't have user programmable buttons.

I am also stuck with simple bluetooth connection - the nRF51 Dongle is not vissible to other devices. Is it possible to be a GATT Server (Master device) ?

I am using Keil with SDK 12.3.0

I don't see much point of using the NRF51 Dongle as a BLE mouse as you need to connect it to USB port.

If you just want to test, I don't see any problem connect it to PC via BLE. Simply run the example in the SDK should work.

The Dongle doesn't have a button, but there are some output pins 15-20 that you can use , you need to solder external buttons to them.

Still, it's much easier to test using a nRF5 DK instead of the dongle

I just want to test it and I have only the dongle for the moment. I have soldered external buttons and they are working properly. The problem is with connecting the dongle to the PC via ble. I run the exapmle and nothing happens, the dongle doesn't appear when I search it from my PC or my phone via nRF Connect App.

I'm afraid that the dongle can only act like a Central device and not as Peripheral one.

No, it can acts as anything, it's the same chip on the DK and on the dongle.

Have you tried to test any other example ? Have you flashed a softdevice ?

Which dongle do you have ? note that if it's too old it won't be able to run latest Softdevice. Please check for the compatibility table here.

If your PC is running Windows 7 or below, you will not be able to connect to bluetooth low energy devices at all. Which OS do you run?

Win 10 64bit
