Build a Multilink/Uart Central

[MootSeeker]

Hi, 

I want to write my own Multilink/UART example from scratch, because I'm too confused from all these examples.

What I need to get that code done? Or has anyone build something like this? 

Thanks for your reply

Hi!

I would advise you not to start from scratch.
My suggestion is to spend some time learning the examples instead, and use them as a template.

However, if someone else in the community has done something like this, they are more than welcome to share their thoughts.

If you decide to spend some time studying the examples, you are more than welcome to post a question here on devzone if something is unclear.

Best regards,
Joakim.

Hi Joakim, 

thanks for your reply, but which example do I need? 

I've studied the Central example for Uart and the Multilink example, but I can't compile a working Code. 

Slowly I will get in time stress, because I need to finish this Project. In the last 5 weeks I did not get further than I was since the last 5 weeks. I only need a example code, to know that it is possible to connect multiple peripherals to a central and send some data from the peripheral to the central.

Which part of the Uart Central and the Multilink Central example code are the Important ones that I need to succsesful connect some boards together and send some data to the Central?

Please I need really help.

Best regards, 

Mootseeker.

Hi again!

You could start off with the UART central example, and add the relevant code from the multilink example.

I don't think we have an example like this already, but I do know there is several other cases on devzone adressing this topic.
So a quick search around the forum might reveal some useful information.

Also, when you start merging the examples, you are more than welcome to post the code you have so far, and explain a little more specific what you are struggling with.

What device/SDK are you working with?

Cheers.

Lol sorry never saw this message ^^ 

I have given up trying to find a solution. Has something changed in the last 3 years. My goal would still be to send data from clients to the central.

I was working with several NRF52 dev boards and the SDK 12/13. I was extremely confused at the time which one to use as the latest one didn't work and the documentation didn't agree with the older SDK.

How could I solve the problem today? I would be happy to find a solution here.

[Joakim Jakobsen]

Well, there's been significant changes in the SDK over the last three years since my last reply here.

We still don't have a multilink UART example that works out of the box. But combining the UART examples and the multilink examples is a possibility. I can ask around internally if someone has already done this.
