UART

[Nils Minor]

Hi,

is there any Example to use the UART ? I need an monitor while the application is running, is the UART COM Port the right one for this?

Is there an example with the app_uart?

Best regards Nils

Hi,

there are a few UART examples in the SDK, depending on which hardware you are using (Evaluation Kit or Development Kit). If you are using the PCA10001 Evaluation board, take a look at nrf51822\Board\pca10001\uart_example. This example uses the com port interface, which is conveniently accessed via the USB. Albeit this example is quite simple..

As far as I know, app_uart is part of the HCI transport layer, which is used in the connectivity chip examples. This transport layer is quite complex and not something you would use as a monitoring tool for debugging.

Thanks, yes i made a silly mistake. Its running now with the simple_uart example. :)

Hi Nils,

could you tell us what your mistake was? It is not running for me. Are you using SoftDevice also?

In simple_uart project in the main.c

1. do not #define ENABLE_LOOPBACK_TEST
2. comment out the simple_uart_get() function call. otherwise main function is waiting all the time for input. Yalcin
