WiDig BLE on Windows

On Windows, configuration of the WiDig must be done through USB, or using the Widi Bud adapter.

It is however possible to receive sensor data on a Windows computer with a generic BLE interface once it is configured in Standalone mode in EditorX.

You will need:

- A WiDig configured in Standalone mode, and USB power source

- loopMIDI virtual MIDI application

- MIDIBerry BLE to MIDI bridge application

Also, we need to route the BLE MIDI port to a virtual MIDI port, hence the need for loopMIDI.

Pairing the WiDig

Go to system Settings->Bluetooth & Other Devices, and click on add:

Then, select the WiDig device:

Connect to the device (If it fails once, try again and eventually it should connect):

Make sure loopMIDI is running and there is at least one virtual port available:

Finally, open MIDIBerry and select the WiDig as input, and the "MIDI" virtual device as output.

Now, you will be able to access WiDig sensor data from any MIDI application via the virtual loopMIDI port!
