Question

I've recently received my STEVAL-STWINKT1 and worked it with the ST BLE Sensor on my phone, but I'm looking for a similar way to work it with PC. my interest is to read vibration and FFT data on PC, thanks ahead for any type of help

    Hi @TDota.1​ ,

    please consider that the STEVAL-STWINKT1 (now STEVAL-STWINKT1B) is equipped with the Bluetooth low energy wireless connectivity (BlueNRG-M2S module), and not with the Bluetooth protocol.

    You have to check if you computer supports the BLE communication (should be in this way, but I'm not an expert about it).

    Please keep me updated about your progresses.

    Thank for your response Eleon.

    i checked and my computer supports low energy bluetooth.

    The problem is that the ST BLE Sensor app is made only for ios/android and there isn't similar app for the PC (as far as i know).

    so what i was trying to do is to use an Emulator to run android on my computer, but then i discovered the emulator can't connect with the PC bluetooth, so i couldn't connect my Eval board.

    I'm looking for a solution to watch the FFT and the vibrations plot on my PC in real time.

    Hi @TDota.1​ ,

    The ST BLE Sensor sdk source code is available on Github at this link, but yes, you have to use an emulator (es. Android studio) for this.

    Did you already try with it?

    Unfortunately, I'm not an expert of that environment :(
