I would like write a logging script that would save data sent from the keyfob to my PC. For this I would need to modify HostTestRelease somewhat and to connect to the dongle via UART with an application I've written myself, not with BTool. However, at the moment I am having two problems.
1. I can't use IAR to download the HostTestRelease -project onto the USB dongle. IAR keeps complaining about a driver error and almost crashing. I haven't modified the HostTestRelease project that came with the DK at all and SimpleBLEPeripheral as well as my own application work with the keyfob just fine.
2. When I try to connect to the USB dongle through UART using PuTTY or Tera Term, nothing happens (I'm running Windows 7 so I can't use HyperTerminal). I would like to do this to test how to control the dongle and what kind of data the keyfob is sending me so that I could write an application to log that data in a human readable form.
Has anyone else been able to connect to the USB dongle with anything other than BTool? How is that done? PuTTY clearly finds the dongle, but only shows an empty screen, no matter how many times I press enter. Should I extend HostTestRelease (after I have solved the first issue) to send some kind of an aknowledgement?
