nrf52-ble-app-uart-long-range

[Mahmoud]

Hi - I have followed the compiling instructions and downloaded the project to the nrf52840 PDK and it does not work. By debugging, no error codes are there during the execution. I can't find the device in the BT scans. This happens with the peripheral and the central version. BTW: the original examples (non-LongRange) work well.

Hi Mahmoud

What compiler are you using?

Have you made sure to flash the SoftDevice included in the project?

Best regards

Hi

Are you using nRF5 SDK v14.2 as well?

I just got a colleague to test with a clean SDK install, and he had no problems getting it to run.

When you say you can't find the device in BT scans, what do you mean by this?
Keep in mind that most BT scanners (including all known BT enabled phones) don't support long range yet.

Best regards

Hi - Sorry for the late reply. I could do that with two DK and it worked perfectly. 
I don't know if this may be helpful for the others, the LED does not blank compared to the original example.

Hi Mahmoud

I am sorry for my late reply also....

I need a bit more specifics on your setup when you can't get it to work. What kits and/or phones are you using on the peripheral and central side?

This demo is only designed to be run between two nRF52840 PDK's. It is not intended to support any phones. 

Best regards
