Direction_finding_central test

[Chaoyue Ying]

I'm using the nrf connection sdk to test application.

I want to know how the direction_finding come true.And I'm beginner to ncs.

I'm using the version v2.2.0.

I thought the sample is available.But when I build it,the error happened.

I see the document that  explain of direction_finding_central.The document goes deeper into some of  direction_finding adjustments.

The adjustments didn't happen in DevAcademy.Maybe I can read some blogs to know how to do it?

Hi Ying,

Could you give me a bit more information regarding this.? I suppose that you are using the nRF52833-DK for testing. Do you have an antenna array ?

See here in the requirements: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/samples/bluetooth/direction_finding_connectionless_rx/README.html#:~:text=The%20sample%20also%20requires%20an%20antenna%20matrix%20when%20operating%20in%20angle%2Dof%2Darrival%20mode.%20It%20can%20be%20a%20Nordic%20Semiconductor%20design%2012%20patch%20antenna%20matrix%2C%20or%20any%20other%20antenna%20matrix. 

Best Regards,

Hi,

I using the nrf52833-DK,the error seem just the configuration not use the default.

But I still don't know how to add antenna array to DK.The document emphasize antenna array is necessary for AOA.

I'm now beginning to program the Nordic nRF52x SoC with the nRF Connect SDK. When I use the Zephyr style, it appears to be an Arduino core, i.e. final grade calculator

Hello,

The sample can function in either AOA or AOD mode and in both the modes you would require an antenna array for the sample to work.. We have a whitepaper that you could refer in addition to the samples already available that you can find here: https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/nwp_036/WP/nwp_036/intro.html?cp=18_4 

For information regarding antenna arrays, you will need to get in touch with your Regional Sales Manager.

Regards,

Swathy

Hello,

I am encountering the same issue. The problem appears to be related to the build process rather than hardware, as it occurred during building and resulted in failure. Specifically, when using nRF Connect SDK for VSCode (version v2.5.1), I encountered the error while building the existing Sample (Direction finding central) without flashing the program to any hardware.

Furthermore, my environment configuration seems to be correct as I can run all the demos in Bluetooth Low Energy Fundamentals without any issues. Are there any additional docs or solutions available that could help me?
