Review on Adafruit Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.0) Sniffer - Bluefruit LE - nRF51822 - v2.0 [ADA2269] by Travis Karren

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Install guide needs updating, quite annoying

I spent two days getting this to work. I managed to get it working on my laptop but not on my desktop. The problem is likely due to incorrect links in the installation instructions on the Adafruit Learn website. Showing it in the Wireshark device list is hit and miss. It's a real shame as there are quite a few posts about these configuration issues on the Adafruit forums. Someone needs to update the procedures and make sure all the different versions of things are referenced and that they play together correctly. I've used Wireshark many times and have used Zigbee and other communications products without too much difficulty. Since this is intended as a sniffer, installing it shouldn't take much thought. Update the Windows setup procedure using the appropriate links.

Pros
  • doping 🔥
Cons
