Hi.....

i want to transfer the data for every one minute from peripheral device to phone  (nrf connect ).. how to declare in the program and what function to be used ?

suggest me a idea 

i am using segger (sdk 12.3 version) . debugging the program to peripheral through my development kit nrf52382

It sounds like you want some sort of timer in your application. You could draw some inspiration from the simple_timer example in the sdk.

simple_timer i gone through ... but i need to transfer the data for every minute , so every minute it should check the peripheral .. can u help me

Go on - think about it.

The timer tells you when the minute is up.

So then you send the data - exactly the same way that you'd send it an any other time.

Perhaps you should start with one of the BLE examples to see how it sends its data?

Maybe the UART demo ... ?

okay i will try and get back to you

one more , how to include the timer in the program , how to write a code

Have you studied the Timer documentation?

The same way you'd write code in any other application.

Do you have any programming experience?

yes , but i have used arduino only .  i want to modify the heart rate(hts program) in that i want to include the timer. To read the data for every one minute . please help

As @awneil said, you will have to merge things from two different projects. I suggest you start with a BLE example, such as ble_app_hrs if you need to send heart rate data, or the ble_app_uart if you want to send custom data. Then look at the app_timer example, and try to add a timer from this example into the ble_app_uart example.

One fall pit that I think I should warn you about is that the app_timer example uses TIMER0, in most SDK versions. This timer is reserved for the softdevice, so switch to TIMER1.

Best of luck,
