IOS-nRF-Mesh-Library publishing / subscribing configuration and firmware version

[PM Bubblynet]

Hi

when trying https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/IOS-nRF-Mesh-Library everything goes OK (I think...) all the nodes gets provisioned, all the elements gets addresses, there are keys and so on... everything seems to be in place, next step should be publishing / subscribing configuration I guess? but I am stuck there... is there any tutorial, blog or any information on how to configure this so I can turn on / off the LEDs on one board with the buttons on the other?

And the second question is related to the firmware, for this provisioning, the ones included are the same from the Mesh light switch? or is a custom one? where can I find it? I would need to modify, add some PWM and so on, but I think starting with the firmware that can be provisioned is a good idea.

Tks!

Hi.

Please take a look at this blog-post;

Blog - Provision, Configure and control Bluetooth mesh networks with nRF Mesh

The video in the blog-post explaines how to use the nRF Mesh app.
You can also view the video from the blog-post directly on youtube:
Introducing: nRF Mesh

There is a link to the GitHub repo with the firmware used in the video in the description.
This is the link https://github.com/NordicPlayground/thingy52-mesh-provisioning-demo

Cheers,
Joakim

Hi Joakim,

Thanks! I already checked that one, but these doesnt seem to work on the nRF52 dev boards...? I assume that element 1 on the client is button 1 and server element is the LED 1 right?? I tried with both, the app on the appstore and pulling the latest version and building it on another device... but no luck with any....

Hi.

That example is made for the Thingy:52, so that will most likely not work on the nRF52 DK.

If you want to test this using the nRF52 DK, I suggest you use the Latest SDK for Mesh, and the light switch proxy client & proxy server examples if you want to provision by phone. You can use the video as a guide to how to use the nRF Mesh app.

Best regards.

Hi Joakim,

So, I cant provision the SDK for mesh with the app... apparently the models used for the app (and Thingy) (ie generic_on_off) are not the same as the ones used on the SDK for mesh (ie simple_on_off)...

So I am trying to migrate the generic_on_off model from Thingy source code to the SDK for Mesh... I got it running for the Client / Switch I think... I can compile, flash and provision it with the app... but I am not so lucky doing it on the Server...

So thats where I am at the moment... if you have any info... reaallly appreciate it... ;)

Hey, sorry for the late reply, I just found the link where I got the details about the generic and simple on-off models. I had to change the definitions of all headers for simple_on_off_(client/server/common), take a look at the files in the zip, they are the headers changed.
