Hi @TimArt,
I would also like to know if there is a central mode we can use instead of peripheral mode.
Currently the ArduinoBLE library only supports peripheral mode, central mode support will be added in a later release.
I would like my laptop computer to connect to my Arduino MKR1010 which would be acting as a server. I want the computer to recognize the Arduino as a regular bluetooth device (similar to a bluetooth speaker), then after connection, I want the MKR1010 to stream sensor data to my laptop (this will most likely be setup in a polling mechanism where the computer polls the Arduino for sensor data).
It seems like you want the board to act as a peripheral device.
Note the board only supports BLE and not bluetooth classic.
