Thingy 53 Weather station demo doesn't work

I have new Thingy 53. Default Edge Inpulse demo works without any problem. But I have problem with Weather Station demo.

First I tested Zigbee version. After flashing using nRF Programmer it doesn't do nothing. No LED action, can't connect to Zigbee coordinator (I have many Zigbee devices and newer had problem connecting them).

Next I tested Matter version. Thingy should flash blue LED after start but LED is always on - not flashing. So this does something but not works as described in documentation.

Is some problem on my side? Definitelly I'd like to use Zigbee version but currently device seems dead every time I flash it.

  • Hi Amanda,

    Installed J-Link and now I have warning message in Serial Terminal "Installed JLink version does not match the expected version (JLink_V7.94e)". Terminal still can't connect to Thingy with Weather Station flashed:

    Device Connected SN:{BF9E3611-4DB0-2845-A5C9-10D935A6605A}

    Port could not be opened. Verify it is not used by some other applications.
    It seems that factory reset doesn't do anything good. Terminal after Thingy reset can't enumerate devices at all:
    Error: Failed to enumerate devices Caused by: Timeout
    Error: Failed with exit code 1.
    If I power cycle Thingy, I can see it in Terminal as unknown device again and can't connect to it.
    So I flashed your zip again (now with new J-Link). But no change, still doesn't work.
    Strange thing is that sometimes I can see "Thingy 53: Zigbee Weather Station" as device name in Terminal (not unknown device), but seems like it freeze in a few seconds after power cycle and I can't connect to it.

    Could you remove the JLink_V7.96g and install JLink_V7.94e? During installation, select "Install legacy USB Driver for J-Link" and "Update existing installation."

    Please ensure no other applications connect to COM10.

  • Hi,

    J-Link 7.94e doesn't have option to install legacy driver.

  • Check out This article from SEGGER :  https://wiki.segger.com/Incorrect_J-Link_USB_driver_installed

    Make sure the PC can detect the USB serial port and only the nRF Serial Terminal connects to the same port.
