Bluefruit LE Sniffer Wireshark interface problem

Post by dasol0124 »

I use Bluefruit LE Sniffer - Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.0), nRF Sniffer V2 BETA 1, python 2.7.15. wireshark 3.2.3.
The sniffer has a red light in MODE.

I followed the instructions in the user guide(https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/download ... niffer.pdf), but another problem occurred.
I think my problem is that I can't see wireshark interface.


If everything is ok, it should look like this.

I check --device but it says 'An interface must be provided or the selection must be displayed',
I check --extcap-interfaces but there is no interface.

Yeah! The interface is not visible.
In the end, it also appears like this in Wireshark. The interface is not visible too:

I don't know how to make the interface visible.

Did you install the driver for the FT231x device on the sniffer?

That seems like the most likely reason you would not be seeing a usable COM port.
