Does Qt support Bluetooth Low Energy under Windows 10?

Jan Roorda

Hi,

It's unclear to me if the Qt Bluetooth Low Energy API works under Windows 10. I read that Qt 5.5.1 adds full support for the Windows 10 platform, but the BLE documentation is not clear about whether Windows 10 is supported or not.

Can someone clear things up?

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

No yet but there's work in progress branch to add support for Windows

@SGaist Thanks a lot! Do you also know in which Qt version it will be supported?

SGaist

No, sorry, that I don't know but not before 5.7 since the 5.6 feature freeze already happened

You can try QtConnectivity from the wip/win branch: http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtconnectivity.git/tree/?h=wip/win
There is already a support of BTLE. You shall compile and install QtConnectivity manually (it is possible to use Qt 5.5.0 and above for this).
