Nicla Sense - Nano 33 IoT as BHY2 Host

I have tried using your code to enable communication via BLE between my Arduino Nano 33 IOT and Nicla Sense ME. It seems like the Nano IOT never connects to the Nicla via BLE. See image of the Serial Monitor below:

The firmware version of the WiFiNINA module on the Arudino Nano 33 IOT is : 1.4.8.

I modified the Arduino_BHY2Host.h file to include the Nano 33 IOT board in the supported boards section as mentioned in your blog post. Did you make any modifications to the App sketch that is used by the Nicla board? Could you share the App sketch that you used on the Nicla board to get the communication to work?

This is great Ralph. I couldn't get it to work on the Arduino Nano 33 IoT via BLE. I have tried again updating the firmware of the WifiNINA module and it already works with the Arduino Nano 33 IoT too.

As the BLE had never worked for me with the Arduino 33 IoT, I didn't think about updating the firmware. Beginner's mistake.

Thanks for sharing!

Just a quick update - I got a response on the Arduino Forum https://forum.arduino.cc/t/bhy2-host-ble-supported/979167 that suggested doing what I did. I'll also try this with the Nano 33 BLE Sense, but I think [mention:89905ffecc134446a07e462576154a4a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] indicated that he might have had to make other changes to make that work.
