Connect and program thingy52

[Gam2IOT]

Hello,

I work on a thingy52 since few weeks with a nrf52832 SoC. When i'm turning it on and connecting it to my computer, there is no led turn on and it is not detected both by computer and by the nrf connect application on the phone. I wanted to put an other code in the thingy52 but because of this problem, this is impossible. So I would like to know, how can I connect turn my device on to make it detect by my computer to program on it?

I tried to turn my device on by pressing the middle button on the same time, the Green LED lights up but my device is not detected by my computer but it is detect by my phone on the application nrf connect on this case.

Is anyone know how to connect the device to a computer and make it detectable by it?

I'm using nRF Connect for Desktop and VS Code with nRF Connect Extension.

Thanks in advance for your feedback !

Hi Drouet, 
The Thingy52 is a very old platform and it doesn't have much development in the last few years. 
Our current SDK nRF Connect SDK doesn't have support for it. 

The USB port on the Thingy52 is only used for charging, not for connecting to PC. You would need to use a debugger externally to connect to the Thingy52 to program it. Or you can switch to bootloader mode and send the image via the phone. But doing DFU is not ideal for developing application. 

My suggestion is to get started with our nRF52 Development Kit instead.
