How to build a mesh network with nrf52dk and raspberry pi ?

[Duy]

Hi all, i'm Duy

I'm doing my thesis project about Bluetooth mesh. My board is nrf52832 custom board which is similar to pca10040. i want to build a mesh network with several servers, one client and one gateway which is raspberry pi 3. The servers will collect data from sensor (temperature, humidity sensor) then send it to the web server. Moreover, a want to control the peripherals on/off via the web. Can i do that ? Which SDK should i use to build the network ? 

It would be great if someone show me step by step.

Hi Duy,

If I were you, I would take a look at the interactive pyaci script in the Mesh SDK v2.2.0. If you run the serial example on one of the 52832 boards, you should be able to run the python script on the raspberry pi & use the 52832 as a connectivity chip between the Raspberry Pi & the other mesh devices. The python script will provision & configure your Mesh network. It should then be possible to control your Raspberry Pi remotely via the web.

Kind Regards,

Bjørn
