SETTING UP A NEW PROJECT USING SDK 15

[arshdeep]

Hi Team Nordic,

I started developing a project using SDK 15 using DK nrf52840 .

I went through several threads and started by creating a test folder inside example directory . Now i copied the template folder in my test folder i.e.. example/ testFolder/ templateProject ..

And i wrote a simple program to read data from DHT11 sensor. But i am having the following error. I think I did not set up my project correctly.

Can you please have a look at error and suggest possible solutions. Also can you please refer me to a relevant tutorial that shows how to set up my project and how to add my different .c and .h files in the project. 

#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdint.h>

#include "nrf.h"
#include "nordic_common.h"
#include "boards.h"
#include "nrf_delay.h"
#include "nrf_gpio.h "

#define MAXTIMINGS	85
#define DHTPIN		9

int dht11_dat[5] = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };


void read_dht11_dat()
 { 
	uint8_t laststate	= 1;
	uint8_t counter		= 0;
	uint8_t j		= 0, i;
	float	f; /* fahrenheit */
 
	dht11_dat[0] = dht11_dat[1] = dht11_dat[2] = dht11_dat[3] = dht11_dat[4] = 0;
        
        nrf_gpio_cfg_output(DHTPIN);
        nrf_gpio_pin_write(DHTPIN, 0);
         nrf_delay_ms(18);

         nrf_gpio_pin_write(DHTPIN, 1);
         nrf_delay_us(40);

         nrf_gpio_cfg_input(DHTPIN, NRF_GPIO_PIN_NOPULL);

         for ( i = 0; i < MAXTIMINGS; i++ )
	{
		counter = 0;
		while ( nrf_gpio_pin_read(DHTPIN) == laststate)
		{
			counter++;
			nrf_delay_us(1);
			if ( counter == 255 )
			{
				break;
			}
		}
		laststate = nrf_gpio_pin_read( DHTPIN );
 
		if ( counter == 255 )
			break;
 
		/* ignore first 3 transitions */
		if ( (i >= 4) && (i % 2 == 0) )
		{
			/* shove each bit into the storage bytes */
			dht11_dat[j / 8] <<= 1;
			if ( counter > 16 )
				dht11_dat[j / 8] |= 1;
			j++;
		}
	}
   }



 


int main(void)


{

printf( "DHT22 Temperature test program\n" );
    while (true)
    {
    read_dht11_dat();
    nrf_delay_ms(1000);
        
    }
}

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Andrea,

Actually i do have these files in the path mentioned in the error.

You can see the path and file in my attached image .

What could be the problem now?

Thanks,

[arshdeep]

Do you think the part of problem could be that i am using template_project that does not have soft device 132, it says blank in the path. you can verify in the path

: C:\Users\ArshdeepMalik\Desktop\nordic\PULSE_DOCS\PULSE_FIRMWARE\nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\examples\peripheral\template_project\pca10040\blank\ses

May be i should start with some other example that does have a softdevice 132?????

Hi.

For the nRF52840 you need to use SoftDevice 140, not SoftDevice 132. That means you have to use the emProject files which are in subfolders of pca10056, not pca10040.

Hi.

Please look at my first reply under "How to include header files:". It should be quite easy following those steps.
