RBL Blend Micro Services Not Changing

[Orrett Douglas]

Hi,

I recently purchased a Blend Micro from Redbear Labs, currently I have created my services.h through compiling the .xml file, and now am trying to use the redbear library to put the services onto the contents of ram of the Arduino.

After compiling the code and uploading it to the Arduino, I have used the nRF Master Control Panel by Nordic to see the services provided by the device and, still, there is no change in services, even if i run the example projects.

I also get pipe errors with the sample heartrate project.

I'm not sure what else to try, did i get a bad chip? Or am i doing something wrong here?

The only thing you need to be certain is that you need to pin reset the nRF8001 IC when changing the services. Typically the lib_aci_init() or the init function will reset the nRF8001, you can also add code to reset the nRF8001 by controlling the digital line the reset pin is connected to. The datasheet for the nRF8001 is available [here] , (www.nordicsemi.com/.../nRF8001). See section 14.4 for the reset information.
