HIDS keyboard recognized but not character sent

[isimon]

Hi team, by following the guide Bluetooth: Peripheral HIDS keyboard I was able to install the sample on the nRF52840DK and both my iPhone and Mac recognize the board acting as a Keyboard.

I'm able to pair the board and Led2 is turned ON as it should indicating one device is connected.

So far so good, the problem is that nothing happens when Button 1 is pressed (meaning no text is received in the text editor running on the Mac),

I have NFC_OOB_PAIRING already cleared as explained in the guide.

What am I missing?

Any hints will be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Simon

Hi!

As a matter of fact I don't even know what are you referring to with UART logging from the DK

This is log output from the DK. You can e.g. view it using the Serial Terminal app in nRF Connect for Desktop:

I suggest removing the pairing/bonding on the Mac, erase the flash on the DK (nrfjrpog --recover) so that we are sure that pairng/bonding is removed there as well, and then flash the sample again, and try bonding/pairing again. Make sure that you have the serial terminal open, and can view the log when pairing/bonding.

HI Sigurd, please see below my sequence

1 - Paring with Mac removed

2 - DK erased

3 - Visual Studio Reloaded

4 - Flash OK

5 - Terminal working

6 - Even though it says "Advertising successfully started" Led 1 is not flashing and the Mac doesn't see the DK

7 - Turn OFF/ON the DK: Led 1 starts flashing, nothing appears on the Terminal but Mac sees the DK

8 - Connect button pressed 

9 - Button 1 on the DK pressed (Led 1 & Led 4 solid ON)

10 - Button 1 pressed several times and nothing appears on the Terminal

Sigurd, where in Visual Code can I enable/disable the NFC_OOB_PAIRING flag ? I'm not familiar with Visual Code and can't find the check box that does it...i was able to uncheck it before but I don't remember where is it :-)

Hi.

Sorry about the delay. Sigurd is out of office so I'll do my best to help you meanwhile.

You should be able to enable/disable this in your Kconfig file. You can't find it?

Br,
Joakim
