Use PCA10040 on a nrf51-donlge with PCA10031

[Terk]

Hello,

I want to use ANT+ communication on the nRF51-dongle that has a PCA10031. I have downloaded the SDK 12.3 to use. I have used some of the BLE examples before that was for PCA10028. To use this examples I used this two threads to manage to run the examples on the donlge:
https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/21725/do-the-examples-for-pca10028-or-pca10040-work-the-same-for-pca10031-if-no-what-chnages-are-required-for-the-examples-to-work-for-pca10031

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/8207/ble_peripheral-on-pca10031-dongle#post-id-45007

Now I want to run ANT+ on the dongle. The examples in the SDK12.3 does only have code for the PCA10040. I also looked at the multiprotocol example with ble_and_app_hrm and this also only got the PCA10040.

So I wounder if I can do as I did for the PCA10028 or if it is anything else I can do to run the examples on the nRFdongle?

Kind regards

Hello,

The softdevices for the nRF51 series are:

S130 - BLE stack.

S210 - ANT stack

S310 - ANT + BLE stack.

So you would need to use an SDK that supports S310.

From what I can read in the release notes, the last SDK to support this softdevice is SDK10. I see that this SDK has a PCA10028 folder for the ble_ant_app_hrm example, so you should be able to port this to run on the dongle with the guides from your links.

If you want to use a later SDK, you must change to the nRF52 series (nRF52832).

Best regards,
