Implementing Matter weather station using nrf52840DK and Bosch BME280 sensor

Hi,

Have you made any other changes to the application?

Can you upload the application log from the device? Please upload it using Insert > Code or as a text file with Insert > Image/video/file.

It might also be easier to start with the Matter Template sample and add clusters and functionality as explained in Adding clusters to Matter application.

Best regards,
Marte

this is the prj.conf file that I am using to build.

And I dont see any thing on the serial monitor I am attaching what I am able to see through Com.

Hi marte,

I don't see the device advertising.

I have attached some of the files from build and what i see in the serial monitor.

I could see everything build and flashing in the board but I don't see the device advertising or any thing on the serial terminal.

Thanks & regards

Rutwik

Hi Rutwik,

[quote user="rutwik"]Still I could not connect using bluetooth.[/quote]

Do you see the device advertise?

Do you have application logs from the device that you can share?

Best regards,
Marte

Hi Marte,

I have tried using prj.conf and tried to optimise the footprint according to the guide you provided,.

Still I could not connect using bluetooth.

But when i tried flashing different application from matter, I could see my device as a bluetooth device I am unable to connect to it.

I see LED glowing with very low intensity but unable to connect to the device.

Is there anything that I could change to make bluetooth enable.

Thanks and Regards

Rutwik

Hi,

The release config turns off logging, so it makes sense that you do not see any serial logging from the device. However, you should still be able to connect to the device over Bluetooth and the LEDs should still be working. You can try using prj.conf and instead reduce the footprint according to the Memory footprint optimization guide.

Best regards,
Marte

Hi Marte,

I have tried using prj_release.conf and the i could build the code and also flashed it into the DK but i could see any error msg or the board doesn't give any data out.

previously I could get the data from the sensor from the dk.

but once i have tried to implement it in matter the DK doesn't show to connet via BLE.

The only output msg i get in the serial monitor is booting zephyr version.

I don't see any LED either on the board after flashing the code.

is there anything I am missing.

Thanks.

Hi,

Please try using prj_release.conf, as that should also reduce the memory footprint.

Best regards,
Marte

Hi,

I am using prj.conf while building my application.

I will go through the footprint optimization and if I couldn't solve it i will get back you.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Hi,

Are you using prj.conf or prj_release.conf as the configuration file when building?
The Matter Weather station, and Matter in general, requires a lot of flash and RAM, so you might get issues running it on the nRF52840 DK unless you use the release configuration. You might also have to make additional changes to reduce the memory footprint further. I recommend going through our Memory footprint optimization guide to see how to reduce ROM and RAM.

Best regards,
Marte
