Which all fanstel did was modify the SDK example UART code with the AT command structure they designed, plus the FDS storage. Yes, I am a beginner at C but not at programming. I came from the VB/Java world, with a touch of procedural PHP. its just the C syntax is different.

You did say that you got this code from Fanstel.

Fanstel are the only ones who can can tell you why they did whatever they've done.

Have you tried using Nordic's own examples with the Nordic nrf52 dev kit?

[quote userid="75752" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/41433/trying-to-get-at-command-example-to-compile-from-fanstel"]So I am brand new at this product line, and basically new at C in general[/quote]

So it might be better to spend some time getting the hang of 'C' - the Nordic SDK isn't really a great place for a beginner to start ...

I am being nice. Am I not being nice? That is the trouble when trying to read emotion out of text. I didn't put any into it that I am aware of. Sorry...

I am just trying to make sense of it all, and honestly it doesn't make sense to me. It still does not. the Main.C file has a bunch of H file includes, they all work except for that one. Nobody can seem to answer why? Specifically to this SDK and Segger, Why.

Again, no emotion, no disrespect intended. I am just a VERY down to the point guy with no small talk or irrelevent riffraff. Guess that is just one of my faults, so I may come off as cold shouldered, but its not intended.

First off, people are taking their own time trying to help you here, please be nice.

Second, the .h can be provided in 2 ways. With a library or with source code.

In the case of a library, you only need to add the lib to your linker no src code require. On the other hand when provided as source code, which is the case of this SDK, you need to add the source code into your project to compile it. You will find that there are a bunch of code that you need to add.

If you wish to use something easier, try this Bluetooth LE with nRF5x the easy way. It has most of needed source built into a library for you.

So in other words, you have no idea. Thanks anyways. Anyone else have any idea?

I see your point, but some of the header files may have different implementation depending on the mode (e.g. with or without softdevice, at least that was the case historically). So it is the way it is in this case.

Yea, but, fds is built into the SDK, so again, adding the c source as a "custom" thing makes no sense to me. it should have been done automatically, like with every other header file that is referenced??

Likely you initially had included the header (.h) file for the fds, but forgot to add the source file (.c) to the project?

You should be able to see how to add files to your project here:

I changed the INCLUDE fds.h to fds.c and it worked. what?
