https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/41680/connecting-nrf52-to-raspberry-piHello guys, I am using nrf52832(PCA 10040) and transmitting radio packets. I want to collect the packets using raspberry pi. Is it possible?. If yes, how are the ways we can do it.Thanks .en-USTelligent Community 13Wed, 19 Dec 2018 19:57:59 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/162563?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 19 Dec 2018 19:57:59 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:06f216ae-e9d5-4155-baa1-8e1c004b8f44varun k<p>Yes, the code development is already done on DK, I just need a small sized device like a dongle.

I am using nrf52 modules as end nodes and they have proprietary rf(esb) -tx example loaded. we are thinking to use raspberry pi as gateway. So, my query was can we directly catch those raw radio packets with raspberry pi without using nrf-dongle. Or inserting a dongle is the only way to capture the packets?.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/162183?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 17 Dec 2018 22:34:44 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:7d6788a2-8969-4018-a7d8-201022e8819eawneil<p>What &quot;radio packets&quot; ?<br /><br />When you plug the PCA10040 into your Raspberry Pi&#39;s USB, does it show up as a serial port - ttyUSB... ?<br /><br />If it does, that&#39;s probably the easiest way for it to talk to the Pi.<br /><br />Otherwise, wire a UART connection to the Pi&#39;s UART ...</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
