Sending data in RS232 protocol to a Pic microcontroller

[Francesca]

Hi all! I want to send data from a beacon (nrf51822) to a Pic microcontroller with the RS232 standard, what function should I use to send data? I have already tried but it seems not to work..

Hi

If you are simply trying to send data between two microcontrollers (via wires) you should look at UART. UART and RS232 is often mistakenly assumed to be the same thing. Read about the difference here.

We have UART examples in our SDK.

If you want to emulate a UART bridge over Bluetooth you can look at our BLE UART example, also found in the SDK. There is also an Android and iPhone app you can use with the BLE UART example.
