i want to upload data to the internet by interfacing nrf52 dk to ESp8266 and using At commands?

My understanding is that you have had a look at the UART Example? I don't have any other advice than to base your project on that example and make sure to format your AT command strings correctly.

Ok but how can i define a rx and tx to send data to the esp8266

Unfortunately I don't have time to port your Arduino code for you, but if you show me your work on the nRF52 I might be able to spot your errors. We can make this case private if you don't want to post it publically.

I have not written a code on nrf52, i could not send data to the esp8266 using the uart of nrf52.

Can you give an equivalent code to the arduino used above.I am programming using segger studio.I am not fluent with nrf52 hence i test it on the arduino first.But since the board has an rx and tx i assume the same thing can be done on the nrf board.

Can you also show us your code running on the nRF52?

This is the code I used to upload data to the thingspeak site using arduino and esp8266. SoftwareSerial.h is an header file inbuilt in arduino.

You don't give us much to go on. If you can show us comparison between your Arduino and Nordic code, then maybe we will be able to provide you with some help.

i could configure the arduino to send At commands to the esp8266, Now i want to replicate the same using the nrf52840dk to uplaod data.

Hi,

Unfortunately we don't have any AT commands examples. The UART example in our SDK is probably the best starting point, and you should make sure to read the ESP's datasheet and understand the AT protocol it uses.
