trouble getting started with nRF52-DK

[Galen O'Neil]

I have an nRF5- DK and I'm following this tutorial. I loaded the softdevice, I can compile, I can load the flash, I can see the output in Termite, I can change the code to print different information to termite. That all works. But, when I use the nRF Toolbox app on iOS to connect, there is a device called "Nordic_Prox" NOT a device called "Nordic_UART". If I attempt to connect to "Nordic_Prox" the program crashes (eg the LED stops flashing and no connection is made).

I believe the name "Nordic_Prox" comes from the fact that I had previously flashed the Proximity_Demo hex file which uses the name "Nordic_Prox". The Proximity_Demo file worked, so I doubt there is a hardware problem.

I had very similar, possibly identical, problems when using the mbed compiler. I'm not sure if it is related or not.

go to bluetooth settings and 'forget' the Nordic_Prox device in there. It's most-likely cached services and isn't re-browsing them

thanks!! this works! I got at least one other example to work after this as well. But I still can't get any examples compiled by the mbed compiler to work, any ideas on that? with the mbed .hex files it still shows up as Nordic_XXX where XXX is whatever the last example I got to work was. But now it's not in the bluetooth settings to forget, I guess because these examples don't bond.
