I'm facing problem here>>

case ACI_DEVICE_SETUP: /* When the device is in the setup mode*/ Serial.println(F("Evt Device Started: Setup")); if (ACI_STATUS_TRANSACTION_COMPLETE != do_aci_setup(&aci_state)) { Serial.println(F("Error in ACI Setup")); }

I'm getting the Error in ACI setup. any reason why its so? and where this do_aci_setup() method is located?

Now i have connected the reset pin to Arduino pin 4 and also specified it like this aci_state.aci_pins.reset_pin = 4;

But still it is not advertising, actually i am not getting any evt from nrf 8001. I have read that if nrf 8001 will get reset then it gives ACI_EVT_DEVICE_STARTED but i am not getting this. How should i make this advertising? It has taken my so much tie but it is not advertising,help me in getting it start advertising.

The Redbearlab v1.1 and V2012_07 shields did not connect the reset line of the nRF8001 to any of the microcontroller pins, this was a bug. This has been corrected in the Redbearlab v2.x shields.

For all boards other than Redbearlab v1.1 and V2012_07 , use BOARD_DEFAULT as the board name. This also assumes that the reset line of the nRF8001 is connected to an mcu pin. Specify the pin using aci_state.aci_pins.reset_pin = <<pin number>>;

Which Arduino pin should i use to connect Reset line of Olimex Module. And this is the code of of your function:

if (UNUSED != a_pins_local_ptr->reset_pin) { pinMode(a_pins_local_ptr->reset_pin, OUTPUT);

if ((REDBEARLAB_SHIELD_V1_1 == a_pins_local_ptr->board_name) || (REDBEARLAB_SHIELD_V2012_07 == a_pins_local_ptr->board_name)) { //The reset for the Redbearlab v1.1 and v2012.07 boards are inverted and has a Power On Reset //circuit that takes about 100ms to trigger the reset digitalWrite(a_pins_local_ptr->reset_pin, 1); delay(100); digitalWrite(a_pins_local_ptr->reset_pin, 0); } else { digitalWrite(a_pins_local_ptr->reset_pin, 1); digitalWrite(a_pins_local_ptr->reset_pin, 0); digitalWrite(a_pins_local_ptr->reset_pin, 1); } }

Well this time i am not using Red Bear Shield but i think this will work only for them. I have my own custom pcb which i have bought it from https://www.olimex.com/Products/Modules/RF/MOD-nRF8001/ . Will this work for my module also what should i use in board_name? Should i use REDBEARLAB_SHIELD_V1_1 as board_name?

Try connecting the reset pin and use lib_aci_pin_reset to reset the chip. I would recommend downloading our latest arduino sdk from github: github.com/.../releases

lib_aci_radio_reset does not reset the chip, only the radio, ref the product specification.
