HCI Tx power control

[fowolabi]

I am trying to use the following example, hci_pwr_ctrl. I have tried using the example just as it is but i keep getting errors when trying to build as can be seen in the image below. Is this a problem with my file directories or how can I fix this issue?

Oh, it looks like you are using the Zephyr SDK directly, and not NCS. Try downloading and installing NCS using nRF Connect for Desktop -> Toolchain Manager, and then open the root folder of NCS in VS Code, and see if that helps.

Best regards,

Hello Edvin,

This worked and has resolved the issue, I also had to copy my folder to the ncs examples folder.

Glad to hear that it worked. 

It is possible to have your applications outside the NCS folder (or out-of-tree, as it is called). If you download and set up the SDK using nRF Connect for Desktop -> Toolchain Manager, there is an option to "generate environment script":

Store this file in a folder in your computer's environment path, and you can call it from anywhere using the command line.

You should also be able to store the application outside the NCS folder, as long as you have the SDK and toolchain set correctly in the VS Code extension. 

This is usually preferred, so that you keep your SDK "pristine". Not required, though.

Best regards,

Edvin
