Bluefruit LE

Post by llapanowski »

Using the Bluefruit LE Break Out (PID 1697) with an Adruino Uno Board in conjuction with a BlueTooth 4.0 USB Module (PID 1327) can you communicate to a Windows 7 Computer? Everything I see on the Bluefruit Break Out talks about connecting to ios or android phones. I'm interesting in communicating to PC.

Hi,

I'm kinda in the same boat.Turns out none of may iOS or Anrdoid devices are 'new' enough to support BLE!

So I also picked up the USB module when I bought the nRF8001 to install under Windows 7. I'm not convinced it's added BLE though :/

Using the Nordic arduinio demos here

https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/ble-sdk-arduino

The ble_HID_template_HID_HRM demo should make an uno + nRF8001 appear as a HID device to windows.

Win 7 + BT 4.0 module can see the device but it fails to bind.
Windows 8.1 (toshiba laptop) sees the device and can bind to it but I don't see any HID devices appearing to windows.

I think we're in the bleeding edge :)
