Checking Output of sensor data in host system

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2540

Hi,

I need to send my 16 bit accelerometer data to my host system ( Laptop) and read it in a file while on the run, as I move my SensorTag through bluetooth. I am using BLESTACK2. Can someone please guide me on how to proceed about it. 

Till now I was trying to figure out if that data is sent through Radio core and trying to capture the data on the pins. However the requirement of the project is to see the output on the screen. I am a beginner on this. Also how does the 2650 sense the data dynamically on the run?

I have the SensorTag app that does the same but on my iOS.

    You can use either your laptop's native bluetooth stack and write a pc application to communicate with the sensor tag or use BLE Device Monitor with the CC2540 USB dongle.

    I would recommend looking at some intro documentation:
    - simplelink academy: software-dl.ti.com/.../overview.html
    - sensor tag tear down (includes link to device monitor): www.ti.com/.../tearDown.html
    - sensor tag getting started: www.ti.com/.../gettingStarted.html
    - also see the software developers guide included with the 2.1 installer: www.ti.com/blestack

    I have downloaded the BLE device monitor but it asks for COM port number and baud rate. My laptop is paired with my sensortag through bluetooth, but I cannot set the COM port such that my BLE device monitor can read the status of the sensortag. What should I do now?

    Device Monitor is designed to control a bluetooth device that is connected via a com port to communicate with the sensor tag. It sounds like you want to use your laptop's native bluetooth stack to communicate with the sensor tag. In that case, you'll need to write a PC application that does this.
