Is there a good walk-through of how to use the BLE template from the SDK?

[Matthew Johnson]

I'm new to using the Nordic SDK and I'm trying to use the BLE template to start my own service. Is there a walk-through for doing this somewhere that may be able to help? I have already completed the introduction to BLE tutorials.

Hi Matthew,

I think this Custom Service Tutorial is exactly what you are looking for.

Thank you! I will take a look at it.

Thank you for the information. This is exactly the type of tutorial I was looking for. However, I am trouble getting my code to load onto my nRF52-DK. I am not getting any compilation errors or warnings. I have also tried loading the soft device (S132 v3.0) before loading the program and then loading just the program first. Everything seems to load ok, but I am not able to find the device in the nRF Connect program. My other Bluetooth devices show up on the list. Any other suggestions?

Hi,

Great that you found the tutorial useful!

Which IDE are you using? nRF52832 or nRF52840? Which SDK?

Matthew Johnson: The example is based on SDK v14.2.0 and S132 v5.0.0. If you're using Keil or GCC then you need to flash the SoftDevice separately. If you're using SES then the SoftDevice is automatically flashed together with the application code.
