Heart Rate Demo Problems

I have the nRF51822 Evaluation kit and put the Heart Rate Demo on the PCA10001 (V2.1.0). When I press Button 0 it doesn't advertise. I have the module (PCA10000) scanning and can see other BLE in my office but not the Heart Rate Demo. The board programs correctly with no errors, I can get the blinky demo working, and I have the SoftDevice programmed.

Any ideas?

I am using Keil in Windows 7.

  • I'd recommend you to try running the project in the debugger, and putting a breakpoint in app_error_handler, to see whether any error is caught there.

    Also make sure to use S110 version 5.2.1 or later, as earlier versions may not be compatible with your chip revision.

  • Note: To get LED0 to blink I had to do "Erase All" before programming the Soft Device v7.0.0, then open the hrs demo in keil (note path is s110 not ble) and compile/load.

    After that the MCP with dongle quickly discovered the EK running ble_app_hrs demo (in path s110 not path ble).
