Ble Central and Usb

[Amit_Deulkar]

We want to develop a product in which ble central device will take data from peripherals and send it using usb. Currently taking trials on nrf52840 dk. In this sample USB/ACM code is running. We merge ble central and usb code together in this central part is working but usb part is not working, when connected to pc not able to detect usb port.   

below is code

Hi 

I would recommend using the Insert -> Code feature, or just attach the files directly, if you want to share code snippets. The cases become very messy with large chunks of code, and you miss proper code formatting. 

I don't think you should use the nrf_drv_power functions when using the SoftDevice. 

Could you please have a look at the usbd_ble_uart example in the examples/peripheral folder? 
This example is for a BLE peripheral and not central, but it will show you how to properly combine USB and BLE in the same example. 

Best regards
Torbjørn

Thanks for the response, we referred  the usbd_ble_uart example in that following function is used for power init which works but when we run same in our code controller get hanged, also attached main file of the code

Hi Amit,

Torbjørn is currently out of office so I will handle this case in the meantime,

As Torbjørn mentioned, can you make sure to include everything that is needed to build the project successfully and add any instructions on where to place the example for it to build,

regards

Jared 

[Amit_Deulkar]

Hello Sir,

I have made changes in example code ble_app_multilink_central in ble central.  

[Jared]

Hi,

I tried building the project you sent earlier with nRF5SDK v17.1.0 but it returned several errors:

Can you specify which SDK version to use and provide a sample that builds successfully?

regards

Jared

[Amit_Deulkar]

Hello Sir,

I am using nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560 sdk.

[ovrebekk]

Hi 

I am now back in office and will try to help you out, but as mentioned by Jared earlier we really need to get a sample that builds out of the box. 

If it builds for you but not for us it means that either you sent the wrong project/source files, or you have made some changes to the SDK files that we would also need to make on our side for the project to build. 

Best regards
Torbjørn

Hi 

i am sending roject zip file again.7167.ble_app_multilink_central1_160324.zip

[ovrebekk]

Hi 

It fails to build just like before, which makes sense if it is the same project.  

Can you clarify if you are trying to use the NUS or LBS service? The main file seems to refer to either one at different places, and this is causing some of the build errors. 

For instance you call BLE_NUS_C_DEF on line 122 of main.c, but you include ble_lbs_c.h on the top of main rather than ble_nus_c.h, so this macro fails. 

I fixed that, but it still fails on line 439 of main.c where it is trying to initialize the LBS service, not NUS:

///**@brief LED Button collector initialization. */
static void lbs_c_init(void)
{
    ret_code_t       err_code;
    ble_lbs_c_init_t lbs_c_init_obj;

    //lbs_c_init_obj.evt_handler   = lbs_c_evt_handler;
    lbs_c_init_obj.p_gatt_queue  = &m_ble_gatt_queue;
    lbs_c_init_obj.error_handler = lbs_error_handler;

    for (uint32_t i = 0; i < NRF_SDH_BLE_CENTRAL_LINK_COUNT; i++)
    {
       // err_code = ble_lbs_c_init(&m_lbs_c[i], &lbs_c_init_obj);
        APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
    }
}

Then there is also the BLE_UUID_CSS_SERVICE define on line 133 of main.c which can not be found anywhere. 

Are you sure you have sent the right version of your code? 

Can you double check that the services in main are set up correctly, and that all the custom definitions are included? 

Best regards
Torbjørn
