Windows 8.1 and above BLE NUS support

# winnus

Windows NUS BLE (winnus) gives access to the Nordic Semiconductor Bluetooth Low Energy UART Service for Node.js on Windows, using Windows BLE APIs (Windows 8.1 and above).

Created for [Espruino and Puck.js](http://www.espruino.com).

## Usage

```JavaScript
var winnus = require("winnus");

var device = winnus.getDevices()[0];
winnus.connect(device, function(data) {
  console.log("Got data "+JSON.stringify(data));
});
winnus.write("Hello\r");
setTimeout(function() {
  winnus.disconnect();
}, 1000);
```

## Development

Please start with:

- [Puck.js](http://www.espruino.com/Puck.js), a Nordic Semiconductor Bluetooth Low Energy device.
- [Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools](http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools)
- [Python 2.7](https://www.python.org/downloads/):
- [git](https://git-scm.com/)
- [node](https://nodejs.org/en/)

Clone this repository, then use the simple node example as a start.
