This is a simple Bluetooth Terminal application designed to be used with the Adafruit BLE UART friend. I developed this because I could not find a way to link the UART friend to a COM port on my Win10 machine. This program communicates directly with the UART GATT service instead. This project was created in Qt. The compiler I used was MSVC2015 64 bit. This should work across platforms but I have not tested it.
- Navigate to the installer under the "Installer" directory.
- Run the installer ("BluetoothTerminal_Win64.exe")
- Install the software as default, or change the directory/start menu configuration.
- The application is now ready to be run.
- Install Qt Creator (I used version 5.11.2).
- Install the MSVC 2015 64 bit compiler, or any compiler of your choice (I cannot guarantee that other compilers will work).
- Clone the repository to your local computer
- Open Qt Creator.
- Navigate to the .pro file and open it
- Click the "Build & Run" green arrow on the bottom left. After a delay the application should start.
