Nordic example for using nRF52840 communicating to peripheral using USB Serial

[garrettb]

Hi

Is there a Nordic example for using a nRF52840 to communicate with a peripheral using USB Serial?

I am using nRF Connect SDK v2.1.0

Thanks

Hi Garrett,

You can refer the Central UART sample in case you wish to communicate with a peripheral, or you can use the Peripheral UART sample according to your needs. For the peripheral UART sample, make sure to build it with prj_cdc.conf. I am not sure if the Central UART sample has similar support for USB CDC ACM, but you can add it similar to the prj_cdc.conf from the peripheral UART sample,

Best Regards,

Thanks for the reply Priyanka

I have to admit, that I only grasp a small amount of what I might need to do to get a working example.

To build with prj_cdc.conf, I found a post here, so I did something similar (currently for the nRF52833_DK, while I wait for my nRF52840 DK board to arrive):

The project builds/runs, but my PC does not detect the connection to the DK's nRF USB port.

What else do I need to do?

Install a driver on my PC?

Add something to the prj.conf file?

Any help, appreciated.

I have spend a few hours searching for anything that has some basic information - all the posts I find seem to require you to already know 99% of the solution etc.

Thanks

Did you try connecting your kit to a terminal emulator, say, PutTY etc? Is it not visible there too?

No I hadn't, and yes, the port was there, and working.

Thank you
