BLUNO access from PC
Account cancelled 2014-05-04 08:05:44 3634 Views2 Replies Hi,
Is there a way to connect and transparently send/receive data between a BLUNO and a PC?
I have a LogiLink BT0015 v4.0 adapter and don't know how to access BLUNO with it.

For the old version bluetooth device, like 2.0, we will use a bluetooth adapter+ a software like "BlueSoleil" to make the adapter become a Serial port to display the received data.
But for BLE-LINK and BLUNO, we will use another BLE-LINK as the data receiver. because it is very easy.
If you want to use a BT dongle, I think it still needs some software to achieve it.

Grey.CC 2014-05-04 14:29:19 Having the same problem. I have BLE-LINK with the 1.6 firmware on Arduino UNO, an IOGEAR Bluetooth 4.0 USB dongle and Windows 7 and 8.1 machines. The dongle works fine and pairs ok using 00000 code.
On a Windows 7 machine BT LE is not supported, so after successful pairing the device driver for the new Bluetooth device is not available. No luck on Win 7.
On a Windows 8.1 machine after successful pairing the BLE-Link device is recognized by built-in Microsoft stack, and the device driver is loaded correctly. The problem is, there seems to be no way to open the serial port, as there is no support for Serial Port Profile in BLE-Link, only the HID profile (see [url=https://www.bluetooth.org/en-us/specification/adopted-specifications]https://www.bluetooth.org/en-us/specification/adopted-specifications[/url]). There is still a way to use the Bluetooth LE HID protocol from a C# code the same way the Android Java code does it, but that has nothing to do with opening a COMx port as one would expect, and requires expert programming.
So, if you have a Windows computer and want to talk via BT 4.0LE (BLE-Link, Bluno) - your option is pretty much limited to connecting another paired BLE-Link to USB port of your PC and use that port's COM.
BTW, serial communication works fine between my iPad mini with Bluno Terminal and my BLE-Link, as it seems to use HID protocol, not SPP.
Please correct me if I am wrong - I still hope I could just use COM port directly, at least on the Win 8.1 machine trackroamer
