Cannot discover device using master control panel

I have a nRF51822 dev kit, and my dongle is running the master emulator firmware, and master control panel is running on my computer, the dongle is connected and started discovery mode without any problems

I have one of my PCA10004 boards programmed with "s110_nrf51822_6.0.0-1.alpha_softdevice.hex" from 0x00 to 0x14000, and "ble_app_advertising" example from 0x14000 and onwards (compiled under Keil)

I expect to see a new device become discovered in master control panel. But I do not.

What am I doing wrong?

  • Another option than hacking a button on your board as shown above would be to use an example that is discoverable without a button press. This should include most of the Development Kit examples, for example ble_app_hrs and ble_app_proximity.

    PS: From the silkprint in your picture, it could seem as if you're feeding your nRF51822 5 V. That way outside spec (1.9-3.6 V), so I hope it just looks that way from the picture, and that you aren't actually doing it. Apart from that, very nice hack! :-)
