Im not really sure how to do that. I know the bmd-200 has a built in hardware debugger but im fairly unfamiliar with it

So put a debugger on it - start in the reset_handler() - debug.

I have tried this with a few other examples and the precompiled versions all worked while the self compiled ones didnt, however there are no errors during compile

Because i can upload it to the board and reset the board and the LED is blinking green. When i load the hex generated from compiling the source, it does not blink.

no, you should not need the softdevice for the "blank" project. how do you test that the blinky_pca10028.hex is in fact working?

Should i need the softdevice for just the simple blinky example in blank? Also looking at the procompiled hex there is blinky_pca10028.hex and blink_pca10028_s130.hex. I used the former and it worked fine

sounds like you have forgotten to flash the softdevice. the precompiled hex consits of softdevice+app. you need to use the S130 softdevice
