nrf51822 serial communication using cable

Hi All,

I am working on the NRF51822 development board, using KEIL-IDE for the code development using SDK version 10.

I was trying to develop the serial communication with NRF-51822 development kit using Putty for normal serial communication via cable(not using wireless blue-tooth).

Please guide me for the above. And if possible than share some of the details or document if available for the same.

Looking forward for the replies.

Thanks in advance

  • Hi,

    First of all I am, using this (BLE400), not mentioned in the above link of yours. And Board was connected with NRF-51822 BLE module.

    Right Now I have/After changing the Pin numbers in "pca10028.h" file and also in the "nrf_drv_uart.h" file with RX and TX pin which are sourced from the BLE400 schematic pdf file. And I have changed the baudrate from 38200 to 115200 for my case.

    Now after making all the changes and connecting it to the FTDI-232 to the BLE400 board(using TX, RX and GND) and firing the Putty I was able to open the serial connection of it but unable to print any data or character to the terminal. Actually I need to develop the UART to PC communication.

    So can you share me the possible solution.

    Thanks

    And how was anyone supposed to know that? We are not ind readers!

    I would strongly suggest that you do get the Nordic kit - because then the examples come ready-to-use. and Nordic are able to support you.

    It also comes with an on-board J-Link debugger.

    Once you have gained sufficient experience & familiarity on the Nordic kit, you will be in a position to know how to set up this other kit.

    using TX, RX and GND

    Your earlier post shows that you have enabled hardware flow control - so you will also need to connect the handshaking lines, and ensure that you have PuTTY correctly configured
