WiDig-801 QuickStart Windows

WiDig BLE on Windows

On Windows, configuration of the WiDig must be done through USB, or using the WIDI Bud adapter, as these communication methods allow both sending and receiving of messages to/from the WiDig.

To only receive sensor data with a generic BLE interface once it is configured in Standalone mode with EditorX (via USB or using a WIDI Bud), the computer must run Windows 10 or higher.

You will need:

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

- loopMIDI virtual MIDI application

- MIDIBerry BLE to MIDI bridge application (Windows 10 only)

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!
