Hi All,
I recently received a few dev kit boards that I intended to use for a test fixture we are building. I tried to use it in our test fixture which had been working fine with an older dev kit and it could not communicate with the device. I believe this is related to another ticket I found about the device having two COM ports associated with it.
In playing around further with the board I also noticed I cannot program an external PCA with it and upon inspection saw that there was no GND DETECT silk screen on the PCA. The pin that I would usually expect to be the GND DETECT pin looks to be completely disconnected from any traces/vias on the board.
Out of curiosity I tried to use the board with the nRF Connect for desktop BLE scanner, and although the log claims it programmed the device successfully I am not allowed to start scanning .
I'm wondering if these boards are good or if we are entitled to some kind of refund if there is some kind of manufacturing error.
Label on the PCA reads:
PCA10040
3.0.4
2024.34
