@wilhelmsen

Could I make a suggestion to improve the PPK installer bat file (Windows)

It quits without telling you its completed or whether its had an error during installtion

Adding a pause statement at the end of the bat would cause it to wait and display a message telling the user to press a key etc

This then gives the user a chance to see whether all the installs worked OK.

e.g

python -m pip install pyside
python -m pip install pyqtgraph
python -m pip install numpy
python -m pip uninstall pynrfjprog
python -m pip install pynrfjprog==9.0.0
python -m pip install future
pause

Thanks

Easiest option to start with is to use my nRF52832 DK

Once I get that going I may try the external debugger route.

Thanks again.

It is not dangerous to forget cutting the DK lines before measuring, you'll only get very weird results. So, if you are only going to measure an external circuit, feel free to plug in any DK you want and set the DUT Select switch to External and use Power select in either Reg. or External.

It might be a bit hard to connect an external debugger without the cable needed, but they are available at P19, on the bottom side.

You'll need to connect to pin 3,4,5,6, and make sure that your SW3/COM switch is set to DK, so tht you external debugger gets connection to VTG (VTarget, to let the debugger know it found supply power).
