If you take a look at this case, you will find an example attached, which is similar to what your goal is. Download the zipped file, unpack it to SDK15.0.0/examples/peripheral (This is the sdk it is tested with). It uses the Application Timer library, and turns advertising off and on for every 10 seconds.

If you are able to do this, you can advance to the next step (look at the function heart_rate_meas_timeout_handler() in the ble_app_hrs example for inspiration)

Best regards, Simon

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,

Edvin

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

Have you studied the Timer documentation?

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

Do you have any programming experience?

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 ... ?

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

ps_anu — Wed, 31 Oct 2018 10:25:48 GMT

hi.... awneil

which examples BLE or peripheral

simple_timer is not useful . i need to transfer the data for every minute ,so every minute it should check the peripheral.

i hope you will suggest a good idea

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.

Have you looked at the examples in the SDK?

To repeat something "every minute", you're going to need something that tells you when each minute is up.

So look through the SDK for things which could do that ...
