Multitask effortlessly on your PC or Mac as you try out nRF Logger, a Tools app by Nordic Semiconductor ASA on BlueStacks.
nRF Logger is not flashy, it is practical. Think of it as a clean window into what Bluetooth apps are doing behind the scenes. It listens to other apps that use the nRF logging API and lays out their sessions in a timeline that actually makes sense. People who use nRF Connect or nRF Toolbox will see connection events roll in, with timestamps and levels, so they can track what went right or what went weird. On a PC with BlueStacks, it feels nicer than on a phone, since scrolling through long logs and searching is easier with a keyboard. It feels a bit like a console for Bluetooth stuff, but friendlier.
There are six log levels to filter through, from chatty debug and verbose, to info, application, warnings, and full-on errors. Sessions can be flagged or labeled with a description, which makes finding a specific issue later way less annoying. Logs can be shared out if someone needs another set of eyes. It does not try to be everything, it just collects and shows data reliably so developers can debug even without a USB cable attached. It needs nRF Connect version 1.1 or newer to play nice. There is also a public API on GitHub so third-party apps can write to it, which is handy for teams building their own tools. For anyone poking at BLE apps, it is a solid little helper that stays out of the way.
BlueStacks gives you the much-needed freedom to experience your favorite apps on a bigger screen. Get it now.
