Nordic-Thingy52-mesh-demo - seems does not work

[aafanasj]

Hello guys,

I have tried to get Nordic-Thingy52-mesh-demo working, but now I don't see it works according to description done.

I have followed all steps provided on GIT page - https://github.com/NordicPlayground/Nordic-Thingy52-mesh-demo

I have got three T52 devices. I have flashed on with bridge and the rest two with nodes FW, using SEGGER Embedded Studio.

Finally, I have got bridge with blinking Red and nodes with blinking Green, but I don't see that provisioning was done.

I have tried to erasure provisioning info for all devices, but the behavior is the same as before.

Please help figure out what I am doing wrong.

Another question - where can I get nrfMesh apk, referenced there?

Or, do you have some notes, how to use nRF Connect apk to configure / work with this Demo?

Thanks,

Alexander A.

Hi, 

The author of the git repo will respond to you soon, Thanks for waiting.

Hello Alexander,

Excuse me for my late reply, the current firmware of the bridge should start run provisioning automatically.

It should cost lease than 1 mins to finish provisioning for one node if the environment doesn't have much RF interference.

Since the current demo firmware cannot recover when the provisioning failed, I would assume there's something wrong in the bridge.

Would you please help me to check the following items?

1. Please push the button on the bridge and reset it, this will erase the provisioning data which store in the flash.
   And please try this on the nodes also.
   I would assume some error happened during the bridge is trying to run the provisioning.
2. Please attach the J-Link debugger to the bridge, and open the RTT viewer to see if the bridge is running correctly.
   If you find any error message, please share with me.
3. Please program the precompiled hex image in the:
   https://github.com/NordicPlayground/Nordic-Thingy52-mesh-demo/tree/master/precompiled_hex
   And check if the demo still cannot run correctly.

Regarding to the nRFMesh, it is an iOS demo APP, and haven't released to the public.

I would like to suggest you use nRFconnect on Android with Macro to play the demo.

For basic demo function like setting LED status, please check 
https://github.com/NordicPlayground/Nordic-Thingy52-mesh-demo#4-set-the-thingy-led-status

You can use nRFConnect mobile APP to connect to the bridge and send the commands to the bridge.

Hello Rick,

Thank you for reply.

I have flashed precompiled hex images - everything works fine;

After, I have erasured all devices;

Then, I have rebuilt the both projects and flashed the devices again - everything works fine. By pressing button on bridge I am able to turn on / off light at nodes.

Will check app functionality later.

Sorry for wrong note... it seems it was my fault - probably I did not erasure the units before test them the first time.

Thank you for support.

Regards,

Alexander A.

Dear Rick,

I have some question about the Thingy-Mesh Demo on github.

I can't rebuild the project neither Thingy_Node nor Thingy_bridge.

I've followed the steps on github.

I think the different between my development environment and the suggestion which is in the github is  Nordic nRF5 SDK for Mesh v1.0.1. My version is  Mesh v2.1.1.

Is it the reason?

There is compile error as below pic.
