Unable to connect from PC to Bluno
sar3th 2015-01-15 11:30:13 5785 Views9 Replies Hello everyone,
for my project, I'd like to be able to communicate from my Bluno V2.0 (Firmware V1.93) with my computer. I am running Windows 7 64 Bit and I have a "Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260" chip integrated in my motherboard (H87 Express chipset).
After seeing [url=http://www.dfrobot.com/forum/index.php?topic=19039.msg24726]this thread[/url], I ran the mentioned commands in AT-Mode and tried to connect. Windows then proceeded to add the device, but did not add any HID-Devices. I never managed to get my computer to use the Bluno as COM-Port via BT either.
Any ideas? I really need to be able to communicate to my computer wirelessly and hoped that this would be rather easy with the Bluno...
Thanks,
sar3th

2020-07-24 13:01:01 To us... their customers,
What I don't like DFROBOT is telling you to buy their dongle for a $9 as an add-on to $15 Beetle. To accomplish that, they provide an incomplete and outdated firmware for BLE, with flawed protocols to prevent other dongles access. HID protocol is also an incomplete protocol!!!
HID Event from my PC
(Device BTHLEDevice\{00001812-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb}_Dev_VID&01000d_PID&0000_REV&0110_f83002091a38\8&28f48065&8&0023 was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match.)
The right business model would be to do fix all these fundamental issues and sell 100's of thousands Beetles alone. If they don't have time, perhaps releasing firmware as an open source could be viable fix.
I believe they are missing a huge business opportunity. They have great product, the smallest MC with BLE on the market today. These connectivity problems, and lack of support, for instance, incomplete technical documentation where links don't even work and reference pages with missing pictures, nor updates to documentation at all, obsolete firmware, have a huge impact on selling their products.
My two cents.

info 2019-08-10 17:28:53 I also have a bluno v2.0. I have tried three different bluetooth USB dongles, all which claim to support BLE but I have still been unable to connect the bluno to my PC. Connects to my android phone just fine. Any suggestions on a suitable brand/model of USB BLE link, compatible with Windows 10? bashama42

Welcome!
I am not sure if sar3th would see your ask since it's a quite old post, to connect Bluno with PC, you have to use a BLE link or USB BLE link, other brand BLE modules (even it's the same CC2540 ic as ours, but with different firmware) are not compatible, so that's why his pc, Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260" chip integrated, connot connected with our Bluno.
Actually, we have update bluno wiki that tell user this compatiblity in specification as well as in FAQ.
Visit the wiki: https://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php/B ... cification
Btw, welcome any questions and share your project with us! Leff

Leff 2016-02-19 10:25:39 Hey sar3th, i'm making a project very simillar to this. Can u tell me if u had any progress or any solution in this project? alexandre.saran
alexandre.saran 2015-01-16 09:34:06 Hi Grey,
I have successfully connected my Bluno to my PC via USB, and updated the firmware to the most recent one.
I open up serial monitor and type the following commands:
[code]
+++ -> Enter AT Mode
AT+SETTING=DEFAULT -> OK
AT+VERSION=? -> V1.93
AT+ROLE=ROLE_PERIPHERAL -> OK
AT+FSM=FSM_HID_USB_COM_BLE_AT -> OK
AT+RESTART[/code]
Then I proceed to add the device in Windows:

I click Next and Windows starts to look for drivers. This is the result:
[url=http://imgur.com/HVLqxzq][img][/url]
The device is now listed in my Bluetooth device list:

However, no HID-Devices were added or are associated with the Bluno:

It seems like Windows does not properly detect it. From what I could gather, Windows will check the device's capabilities through the Generic Attribute Profile and add devices accordingly. I must be missing some essential step...
Let me know if you need additional information.
Thanks,
sar3th
EDIT: I updated my firmware to version 1.94 and still cannot connect. Will try another bluetooth adapter soon.
So far I have tried Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 and Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235. sar3th

Can you tell me some more details about it? like which step you have finished now?
And did you get any error information? Grey.CC
