can't change Nrf51822_Beacon_app example changing a led color

[KETAN_PATEL]

hi,

i tried nrf51822_beacon_app.hex( C:\Nordic Semiconductor\nRF51822 Beacon v1.1.1\Source Code\nrf51_beacon\ble_app_beacon\pca20006\s110\arm_build\ ).in that we changed beacon_config_name.and then flashed into beacon,but not changed.we tried changing config_mode_led_msk from yellow to red.that also not working.

can you tell why cant i change the program.

Where we can find examples of PCA20006 module??

Hi,

In normal beacon mode the name is not broadcasted. Beacons typically don't have a name, because there is little room left in the advertise packet after including the beacon payload. Beacons usually signal their intent and meaning by the URL or ID that they contain, and don't really need a local name.

The BEACON_CONFIG_NAME is therefore only used when you are in config mode. You can enter config-mode by pressing the "configuration-mode button". The beacon then becomes connectable.

We also have a beacon example for PCA20006 in the regular SDK. It's located in the folder SDK_foldder\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_beacon\pca20006\s130\arm5_no_packs

Hi, thanks for reply @Sigurd i try to upload nrf51822_beacon_app example. it's given in Firmware 1.1.0. in that i m try to change the color of LED. because by default in NRF51822 beacon code is there.in that if pressing sw2 then it will blink yellow light. i modify that example and wrote red instead of yellow light. after compile and generate a hex file. upload using NRF51dk kit through NrfGo studio. it will show Programmed Successfully. but it not effect on NRF51822 Beacon. so where i stuck? give me solution.

How have you connected the beacon-kit to the nRF51-DK? Are you using P19 or P20? It could be that you have not connected everything that you need, and that the nRF51 chip that is on the DK is therefore programmed instead ?

Hi sigurd, i m connect NRF51822 beacon with NRF51DK kit

On Beacon Port P2 AND NRF51dk kit P20 (P2) 1 vcc ----------------> (P20) VTG ,,,, (P2) 2 SWDIO-------------> (P20) SWDIO ,,,, (P2) 4 SWCLK-------------> (P20) SWCLK ,,,, (P2) 5 GND --------------> (P20) GND Detect

this way i am connected BLE Beacon with Nrf51 DK kit. i m using P20 port.

In which version of SDK pca20006 examples present?

[Sigurd]

Hi shravani, In SDK 12.2 you can find the ble_app_beacon example for pca20006.
