Good morning, is there any specific PC software application that can be used with SensorTile kit instead of the Mobile application?

My point is to have the same features that can be performed form my labtop instead of the mobile.

Hi Stéphane,

as the SensorTile is mainly thought for wearable applications, the mobile app (communicating via Bluetooth Low Energy) is the preferred way to test its features. There is no equivalent PC application that is able to test all the features of the SensorTile.

Based on your needs, you could use USB to transmit data using a virtual serial port (CDC class) or to stream audio using the USB Audio class.

Best regards,

Antonio

If your laptop has BLE, it could use that to communicate with the Tile in exactly the same way that the app does.

AIUI, you need Win10 for native BLE support.

Or maybe you could find a BLE 'dongle' with a suitable API ...
