nRF UART example with PCA10001 and PCA10000

[Marcus Rundgren]

Hi,

I'm trying the nRF UART example but I can't get it to work.

I have opened the uart_example project in uVision and loaded it to PCA10001.

Then I opened the Master Emulator example nRFUart project in Visual Studio and start execute the code. The application starts and after awhile it says "Ready to connect". But when I press Connect, it says Scanning but it does not find anything...

Have someone else tried the example?

Hi,

Are you sure you've flashed it with the right firmware? It should be ble_app_uart, located: ..\Nordic Semiconductor\nRF51 SDK_v5.1.0.36092\Nordic\nrf51822\Board\pca10001\s110\experimental\ble_app_uart

Remember to flash in the S110 softdevice v6.0 first.

Best regards Håkon

Hi again,

thank you for your response!

I did not have the right firmware. I switch to the one you wrote, and it did get better. Now I can connect and the window application says "Ready to send".

I have tried to send text and it seems to be ok. But if I press the "Send 100kB data" button it says "Started sending data..." and it goes on forever... In the output window in Visual Studio in says: 942;13:33:14.0302 [] Waiting for HCI_Num_Completed_Packets_Event, 612 second(s) elapsed

The "Stop data transfer" do not work so I can't stop the transfers either...

The same thing happens if I try to send a file with more than 20 letters.

Another question, can I connect the PCA10001 to a computer via USB and use a terminal window to see that it receives the text I send?
