Hi Phil. That has some resoning, e.g. nRF51 chip (for which most of older tutorials and guides were written) is supported only until nRF5 SDK v12.3.0. However there are no structural differences between V12 and V14, just update of stacks aka Soft Devices (which you can do manually down to legacy SDK if you want or simply go to newer SDK) and certain changes in libraries/modules (+ new examples etc.) I would say many tutorials will even work if you just go with SDK V14 instead of V12. If not then rise a question on the forum with precise pointing to the step which fails and how, you will get support.

All BLE tutorials seem to be written for SDK 12 and older. I'm starting a new project and thought it was a good idea to start with the newest SDK tody - so I went with SDK 14.2.0.

None of the tutorial information helps, as all major mechanisms seem to have been changed, renamed or replaced. Are there any documents aiming BLE with SDK 14 ?

Another problem is that, I don't distinguish clearly between advertising, services, characteristics, central. :(( Can you briefly explain for me please?

I first complied and flashed example from SDK without any modifications, and after it worked, I tried to modify it. My code works as the example, but I dont know how to modify it :(( I will read the websites you give me, thanks for that :D

I'm afraid I cannot lead you step by step how to use Nordic Soft Device API but there are many great tutorials and step by step guides on their pages. I'd start with Tutorials here and Getting Started guide here. Have you managed to do some basic sanity checks like recompiling example project as it comes from SDK without any modifications (and test that it works the same as original HEX file from Nordic)?

Hello,

I am using softdevice s132 version 5.0.0-1.alpha and nRF52832 DK (PC10040). I said "modify", I mean I used functions in "ble_app_uart" example to create my own .c and .h file but I don't know to change these function correctly in order to work as I wish (like connecting to my phone automatically or send a character/ a file to my phone). Can you tell me how to configure BLE using softdevice APIs?

Thanks

Hello,

All Soft Devices are documented on Infocenter here and here. Which Sot Device and nRF5x chip/board you use? Also by "modify" you mean you've changed the code and recompiled ble_app_uart project or some other action?

Cheers Jan
