Bluefruit sniffer dead on delivery

Post by netadair »

Hello,
I bought a Bluefruit LE Friend and a Bluefruit LE sniffer at the BerryBase online shop.

The Bluefruit LE friend works fine, albeit the OTA update using Android 13 does not work ("GATT error"), however running it on Android 8 works.

My problem is the sniffer module, which just does not work.
The nrf_sniffer_for_bluetooth_le_4.1.1 software does not recognize the module neither on Linux nor Windows, and blesnifferwin101 on Windows doesn't see it either.
For the Python code, I even tried increasing the time outs and fixing baud rate to 460800 only. Nothing.
Also, no reacting on the module (none of the LEDs is on or even blinks).

Is this module just dead? Or did I do something wrongly?

BR
Michael

Are you following this guide for setting up all the software components?

What is your indication of this? It's not showing up in Wireshark? Something else?
