nRF5340 (Thingy 53) AoA

[Gabe]

Hello All, 

I am hoping to leverage Thingy 53's as the sensors (transmitting device) for tracking leveraging AoA. The nRF5340 DK works fine for this application as a sensor, however using the Thingy in these use case seems to be more challenging. I am curious if there a straight forward path to leverage a Thingy 53 as an AoA sensor (transmitting device)?

Hello Gabe,

The nRF5340 DK works fine for this application as a sensor, however using the Thingy in these use case seems to be more challenging.

Well the DK comes with an onboard debugger which of course makes developing in general a bit easier. But is this what you mean by using a Thingy being challenging? I am not sure if I understand.

Using it should otherwise essentially be as easy as using the DK.

I have attempted to follow the directions on this page: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/samples/bluetooth/direction_finding_connectionless_tx/README.html

but ran into issues, the configuration seemed to work but CTE is still not enabled. However, based on your previous response it appears I must have made an error and these instructions should work for the Thingy 53?

I believe so. How are you flashing the Thingy though? Doing it might be a bit more complex than on a DK.
