How can I make SensorTile and my Computer communicate through BLE?

[LRicc.1843]

Hi, for my thesis, I am doing a project with SensorTile (STEVAL-STLKT01V1), and I am trying to let him communicate with my computer (I have Windows 10), but until now I have only been able to pair the SensorTile with my computer. I followed the UCLA tutorials, but about the BLE communication they use only Linux. Can anyone help me?

The BLE does not differentiate different OSes.

Did you mean to use BlueZ under Linux?

I must build an application in windows 10 able to acquire and plot all the outputs of SensorTile, and I was wonderinf if there is any basic application or system that I can use to start without Linux.

+1 I would be very interested to hear the answer. I need to build a Windows application that would read and process data from a SensorTile over the air. I would really like to avoid any solid cable connection to the sensorTile because it's a very vibration-sensitive application (telescope guidance). So far I did not find a way to do it. It is obviously possible because Unicleo does it somehow, but the SDKs I was able to find (BlueST and BlueZ) support only Linux-based platforms. I guess it would be possible to run a Linux app on Windows in a VM, but it seems a bit bulky for a good solution.

Many thanks!
