Nrf UART Peripheral Simulator or App

[Shrikant]

Hi there.. I need central device simulator to test my UART App.

Is their any facility available for Nordik UART peripheral simulator like ANTware in ANT+ wireless protocol. to test both master and slave.

All sample apps available work as central, like UART, ToolBox. which will search for peripheral and connect to peripheral only. i need app which will work like both central as well as peripheral for testing.

can i have sample source code for android /iphone app that work as peripheral like HRM, Crank Sensor etc.

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but most of the applications we provide to do testing, works as central, by scaning for advertising peripherals and connecting to these. This is the case for nRF Connect, both on desktop and mobile, the old Master Control Panel, and nRF Toolbox app. nRF Connect also support setting up a GATT server and do advertising, if you want to test a device in central mode.

Best regards,

Jørgen

Yes, you can connect two nRF Connect apps if you setup one with the GATT service table you want and start advertising, while the other scan for devices and connects to this device. You can also connect to the nRF Connect peripheral from you central board. For HRM, there is also a collector application that work as central device that you can use for testing. Here you have the possibility to connect to the two boards via UART to read debug messages in a terminal.
