Message relay set up

[unistudent01]

Hi there

I'm using two nRF52840 boards and I want to set them up to relay a message from one phone to another like this: phoneA > board1 > board2 > phoneB.

I have looked over the HRS example of the central/peripheral hybrid setup but I cannot get hex files to build.

Could someone please help? Many thanks

At the root of your question is how to compile an example program. I suggest you take a couple of hours and run through the academy. This should allow you to get as far as building an example program.

Nordic Semiconductor Online Learning Platform - Nordic Developer Academy

Hi AMarch, thanks so much for your response.

I have been through the academy but have not been able to find the answers I need unfortunately. I have the two boards set up to the same group on the nRF Mesh app for android, however I can't get them to talk to each other.

So, you could get them to build then?

I am pretty sure in the readme there are instructions for setting up two nordic devices to talk to each other. 
Have you attempted a peripheral connect to the central?

Yes I have got them to build using the "chat" mesh application under SDK 2.9. The problem lies in getting them to talk to each other in the serial monitor

gee - went from can't compile,  to HRS sample... and now we are in Bluetooth mesh.

This time, I will ask a specific question.

Which application specifically, the name and perhaps the directory it resides in the SDK, are you working with?
Is this 2.9.0 or 2.9.1.
