Dev Academy, Bluetooth LE Fundamentals, Lesson 2 Exercise 2 nrfConnect.

[andychess]

Hi,

I've just completed Ex 2 of Lesson2 in the BLE Fundamentals course on the DevAcademy and have noticed a couple of problems.  Firstly, the nrfConnect app for iOS seems to be completely different to the Android version shown in the tutorial.  Maybe I am missing something, but I couldn't find any way to access the detail, including the URL.  

Also, although the number of button presses is displayed, the app shows the least significant byte first (see below).  Is this an issue with the app or the SDK?  I have app version 2.7.15, Build 67 and sdk 2.9.0.  

Many thanks in advance.

Andy

Hi,

On the page for the Bluetooth Low Energy Fundamentals course, Lesson 2 Exercise 2, at the beginning of the sections describing the smartphone side of things, there are buttons where you can choose between Android and iOS:

If you click on or select the iOS button/tab, then you should get screenshots, explanations and instructions for the iOS app.

There are some differences between the Android and iOS versions of the app, in this context mainly that for the iOS app the URL is not shown, and the number value is shown as raw hexadecimal values in little endian format, and not parsed as a 16 bit little endian numerical value.

Thanks for the quick reply Terje and apologies that I missed the option to switch apps!  Thanks also for confirming that the little-endian display is correct.

Kind regards,

Andy
