ble_app_uart testing

Hello,

I run ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart example from this link : devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../36

Used PCA10040, SDK 11, S132 2.0.0

I use Termite3.2 and IOS nRF toolbox 4.0.4 UART for testing. My problem is that whatever text I type, from/to iphone andTermite , they all show as hex or octal representation. I can see all the sending and receiving activities. They are just not readable. What did I do wrong ?

The screen display IMG_0465 (1).PNG from IOS nRF UART is so much different that what was shown from the example.

is there example out there on how to use the UART app with the 9 squares ?

Thanks

  • Yeah, I observe the same. It seems that the nRF Toolbox UART 4 app outputs strings that appear as hex numbers, but termite actually displays ascii characters. as the following screenshots displays:

    This was not the case with nRF Toolbox UART 2.4 app, then it sent strings "play", "stop", etc when you pressed the buttons. Not sure why this was changed. You can however use the nRF UART app instead which should just send characters normally. It should be available on App Store. The data send in nRF UART app when sending string "gyyy" is as follows:
