ble_app_multilink_central, documentation regarding UART

[erltot]

Hello! I have been playing with this example and got some LEDs blink here and there, but would very much like to have UART working as well. The documentation states that "UART logging can be used instead of the LEDs." and I was wondering if this refers to the files in "...\SDK\nRF51_SDK_10.0.0_dc26b5e\examples\ble_central\ble_app_multilink_central\pca10028" and if it was possible to get a more detailed example on how to get this to work?

Hi,

If you want logging for debug purposes, you can have a look at SEGGER RTT. It has some advantages over using UART. See the Debugging with Real Time Terminal tutorial.

For wired UART, see the UART example.

For UART over BLE, see the perihperal UART example and the central UART example.

The reference to UART in the multilink example is the logger module, which can be used for printing debug info over UART.

I was thinking more about passing messages back and forth to the peripherals through UART and termite

I updated the answer to reflect this.
