&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately the distance toolbox doesn&amp;#39;t work with nRF5 SDK.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;nRF Connect SDK is the new SDK which we will continue focusing on going forward so I would recommend switching to it, though you are of course free to choose which SDK you&amp;#39;d like. &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/nrf-connect-sdk-and-nrf5-sdk-statement"&gt;For more on the difference between nRF5SDK and NCS, see here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me know if you have more questions!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards&lt;/p&gt;

Next, I will learn and understand the distance toolbox, hoping that it can be applied to our products, because the demand for power consumption is relatively high. I will also continue to explore the use of nrf5SDK, thanks again for your suggestions!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Medical equipment positioning</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/486356?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 May 2024 09:24:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:90bb1afc-934e-422b-b2de-89cd63d29169</guid><dc:creator>Elfving</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]but after trying it out, I find that the SDK is not that friendly to me. What resources can I refer to?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;I am sorry to hear that. &lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/"&gt;For information about the SDK or otherwise, you can have a look at this page for our documentation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;But if working with the SDK is confusing for you I would first and foremost recommend our &lt;a href="https://academy.nordicsemi.com/"&gt;DevAcademy&lt;/a&gt;, which is a great starting point for &lt;a href="https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/nrf-connect-sdk-fundamentals/"&gt;both getting the SDK installed, and how to use it&lt;/a&gt;, as well as &lt;a href="https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/bluetooth-low-energy-fundamentals/"&gt;how to create BLE applications&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you are done with these courses, I would also like to add that RSSI is often not the best option for locationing. It might of course be different in your field/ in your product, but RSSI for locationing is something I would generally avoid.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would rather recommend our distance toolbox for this. &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vZIILTWmW0"&gt;Have a look at this webinar&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that explains how it works.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a sample of how this works, &lt;a href="https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/samples/bluetooth/nrf_dm/README.html"&gt;see here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;
