LabVIEW drivers for BLE5.0

[nirmalshyamkumar]

I am working on a BLE5.0 communication based project and I am trying to make use of the MSDN Libraries. 

I procured the Bluegiga dongle BLED112 and found the drivers in forum working. But i am suppose to use Bluetooth HW that comes in Laptop (typcially from Intel).  

Wanted to check if there an update on availability of generic BLE drivers that could make my job simpler.

Appreciate any help

Hi nirmalshyamkumar,

That library only uses the VISA driver. I tried converting to LabVIEW NXG with Code Conversion Utility and it worked for me (one VI needed to fixed but I didn't have time to do so).

Here are my steps:

1. Download library from GitHub and open in LabVIEW 2019 and then mass compile. Also, change the Virtual Folders to normal folders.

2. Ensure that LabVIEW NXG 4.0 (or your version) with NI-VISA NXG Addon support is installed.

3. Use the Code Conversion Utility: http://www.ni.com/documentation/en/labview/latest/migration/converting-code/

4. Open the converted project and fix the broken VI

Thanks,
