Connection with Windows OS

[Apex]

Hi

What is the way to connect (pair) device which has nRF52832 BLE with Windows OS. We need that Bluetooth connection creates COM port, because our software communicates with device via COM port connection.

Thanks.

Be careful: BLE pairing as such is natively supported by Windows (tested on Win10) but there is nothing like "virtual COM/serial port" profile defined so it won't be available as COM port unless you write and install your custom driver.

For Windows 7 there is no native BLE support so your best bet is to connect a BLE device 1 to Win 7 through a serial port (something like a USB to TTL serial console cable) and then have the BLE device 2 to pair up with BLE device 1.

I am using the RF5 BLE CLI (Nordic NUS driver).  I need a plug and play COM port.  It pairs easily, but then what?
