Using ANT with nrf51 dongle for beginnerhttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/27095/using-ant-with-nrf51-dongle-for-beginnerHi, I&#39;d like to use nrf51 dongle to scan for ant/ant+ communication, but I can&#39;t understand how to do that... it doesn&#39;t work with antware sw and I don&#39;t know how to use it in a simple way... Any help?en-USTelligent Community 13Wed, 10 May 2017 14:19:32 GMTRE: Using ANT with nrf51 dongle for beginnerhttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/106571?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 10 May 2017 14:19:32 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:ca2a534d-cb1b-4868-b652-df05b245ccd6Petter Myhre<p>Yes, you will have to compile. I recommend to start off with Keil, should be described well enough <a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk51.v10.0.0/getting_started_examples.html?cp=4_0_5_1_1">here</a>.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Using ANT with nrf51 dongle for beginnerhttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/106568?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 10 May 2017 14:14:43 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:d18bf62b-a924-47b4-9e1b-0e36fe228858Davide<p>ok, so now i need to compile the software because there is not the .hex available. Running the makefile is enough? There is some basic tutorial? Sorry but it&#39;s very complicated to understand exactly what to do...</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Using ANT with nrf51 dongle for beginnerhttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/106569?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 10 May 2017 13:58:48 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:4b483e6f-2110-4f17-adf6-a4be64c7dd70Petter Myhre<p>The examples for PCA10028 should mostly work on PCA10031, but the pins to LEDs and buttons will not work correctly.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Using ANT with nrf51 dongle for beginnerhttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/106570?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 10 May 2017 07:25:45 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:313aed4c-6899-4437-854d-2a10459a5edcDavide<p>Ok I flashed the S210 from the SDK 10, but when I look inside the ant broadcast example there is only a directory for PCA10028 (mine is 10031) and no precompiled hex... I&#39;m a lot confused :/</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Using ANT with nrf51 dongle for beginnerhttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/106567?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 09 May 2017 11:33:52 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:76e4f602-5613-4159-97ef-0db9ded5ed70Petter Myhre<p>I didn&#39;t see that you wanted to use ANTware, sorry. The nRF 51 Dongle is not an ANT PC dongle, it has to be something like an ANTUSB-m.</p> <p>To run simple ANT example you have to flash the <a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk51.v10.0.0/getting_started_softdevice.html?cp=4_0_5_1_2">S210 SoftDevice</a>, and program an ANT application, I recommend starting off with <a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk51.v10.0.0/ant_examples_broadcast.html?cp=4_0_5_4_0_4">Broadcast</a> examples.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Using ANT with nrf51 dongle for beginnerhttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/106572?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 09 May 2017 09:25:21 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:312890fb-16a7-4392-9036-a3814ba4210eDavide<p>First of all, in doc seems that I can use antware software but I can&#39;t (the dongle is not recognised)... Second, I&#39;m new to the nrf51 platform and it&#39;s not clear to me, how to scan for ant packet to see if my transmitter is transmitting correctly or not. Could you maybe explain me what should I do to start a simple ant example?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Using ANT with nrf51 dongle for beginnerhttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/106566?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 09 May 2017 08:57:12 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:0a407866-e83f-4128-a641-b799aad66464Petter Myhre<p>What is it that you can&#39;t understand? Have you download the SDK and SoftDevice? Have you used the nRF51 for anything else? BLE? Have you gotten any other examples to work? For example Blinky?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
