Modified version of Microsoft BLE sample, included data visualization tools for debugging BLE sensors.

Note: This code is based on Bluetooth Low Energy sample, you can download the entire collection as a single ZIP file. For other samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.

Shows how to act as a client to communicate with a Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) device using the Bluetooth GATT protocol. Acts as a GATT client to access nearby GATT servers like heart rate sensors or temperature sensors.

Specifically, this app shows how to:

• Enumerate nearby Bluetooth LE devices
• Query for supported services
• Query for supported characteristics
• Read and write data
• Subscribe to indicate and notify events

• (not used).

Search for "BT_Code" to find the portions of the sample that are particularly relevant to Bluetooth. Note in particular the "bluetooth" capability declaration in the manifest.

Note The Windows universal samples require Visual Studio to build and Windows 10 to execute.
