MESH BLE with custom HW proof of concept

Thanks Bjorn! I will give it a try.
I am using mesh sdk 2.1.1
The custom hardware is not a module, but a wearable designed by us and with the nrf52832 chip and custom BLE antenna, among different sensors.

If you turn on persistent storage on all of the nodes, the nodes will still remain a part of the mesh network if the connection is lost or a power loss occurs. See this video for a good intro.

What custom HW are you currently using? Is it a module? Also, which mesh sdk are you using? v2.0.1, v2.1.1?

It should work to just use the led functionality like it is done in the button_event_handler() function in the light switch server for example. The hal_led_pin_set() function is called, which changes the value of the NRF_GPIO register. The LED_PIN_NUMBER DEFINE is set to BSP_LED_0, which is again defined as LED_1. LED_1 is defined as pin 17 (see pin assignment doc for more info). Also, these two cases could be useful: case 1, case 2.

Sorry, when I said:
"I'm trying to do a proof of concept in which the client, after pressing one button, turns on the client's LED (in the address 29 in my case)."
I meant that, after pressing one button, turns on the SERVER's LED, which is the custom hardware
