Bluetooth LE connection with Adafruit 10-DOF IMU Breakout

Post by StitouIl »

Hi, I currently working on a project with Adafruit 10-DOF IMU Breakout. I have adapted this guide (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-bno ... r/overview) to setting it up. I am trying to send commands to the Adafruit using the Adafruit Bluefruit LE Desktop (https://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-bl ... le-desktop). However, when I scan for the device, it never shows up there. How can I connect from my computer to the Adafruit through Bluetooth LE?

This is my first time using Adafruit with Arduino. The Arduino Board is a Mega 2560

What board are you using to try communications?

Do you have a bluetooth 4.0 connection on your computer?

Yes, I am using a CSR 4.0 USB for the bluetooth. I can detect other BLE devices around me, the Adafruit just never shows up.

Can anyone provide any insight? I just would like to know if the Adafruit 10-DOF IMU Breakout has bluetooth le, because it seems like it doesn't and I've spent the last few days looking for it. If it does, how would I go about activating/finding it?
