BLE HM-10 / HM-19 Windows 10 COM Port

Hi,

I really tried the search engine but I could not find anything appropiate.

I am trying to flash an Arduino uno via bluetooth from Windows 10. As a bluetooth device for the Arduino I tried the HM-10 and HM-19. Generally, I would now connect the HM-10 to my Windows10-PC and set it up as a COM Port. Then, I could simply use that COM port in the Arduino IDE.

Now the problem: I cannot setup the HM-10 or HM-19 as a COM port. I can pair my Windows PC with the HM-10, but a connection is not be established.

As far to my knowledge, Windows 10 does not support this for BLE devices and this is why a connection is not be established. I can use some dedicated Windows-BLE tool (Bluetooth LE Explorer) to establish a connection with the HM-10, but than I am not able to set the blueooth connection up as a COM port.

Anyone an idea how to workaround this?
Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

HM-10 and HM-19 are all BLE only, I think the windows OS is still not able to pair a BLE device and enumerate a COM port for it at a system level, but the Bluetooth classic or Bluetooth dual-mode module can easily make this happen.

Thanks, I agree totally with you.
