Hi Saurabh Gulia,

I had exactly the same problem as you, with the Olimex mod-nRF8001 not advertising. I am using a stripped down Arduino that runs at 3.3V, so I can wire the signals directly.

If you are using a 5V system you will need to use resistor networks to lower the voltage of the driving signals SCK, MOSI, REQN.

I first tried with Redbear and Olimex libraries with no result.

I have now downloaded the latest SDK files from Github

github.com/.../ble-sdk-arduino

Now I have tried the "Hello_World_Program" and it works perfectly.

RDYN Pin 8 REQN Pin 9

I have wired the /RST of the Olimex module direct to the ReSet output pin on the Arduino.

I hope this helps, but I can confirm that the module works with the code from the latest SDK!

Ken

The readme files contains information on how to configure the IO pins

Hi,

I assume you are using our latest arduino SDK from Github?

Start with the ble_A_hello_world_program. Make sure you read the main readme file, as well as the one for the hello world program.

Br,
