``gcc -o uart.so uart.c -shared``


Api Generation: WINDOWS ONLY
--------------
#. Follow steps 1 and 2 above for Python prerequisites.

#. If you're on Windows and you don't have the GCC for windows yet, you can get the latest minimal distribution from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/latest/download?source=files)

#. Run the following:
``C:\MinGW\bin>gcc.exe -o uart.so C:\Bluegiga\ble-1.3.1-119\src\thermometer-demo\uart.c -DPLATFORM_WIN -shared -lsetupapi``
``C:\MinGW\bin>move uart.so C:\Your_BLEPY_DIRECTORIES\uart.so

#. Copy the "uart.so" file to the same location as "ble.py"

``python demo.py COM75 scan``
