How to create Mesh network with NRF52840?

[Zaifu]

Hello all,

I have NRF52840 and SDK versions from 12 to 15.

I want to implement the mesh network by which i can distribute the data to the beacons or devices on fixed interval or based on any action on my board.

The data will be anything like status of switch or any temperature sensor data or anything else.

I'm trying it with UART example but wouldn't get the proper things by which I can do the programming in required way.

Is anyone having the idea or experience by which I can build my application.

Thanks in advance!

Please don't mind if I made mistake to describe my issue properly.

Have you looked at the Mesh SDK ?

Thanks for your reply,

Yes I saw that but wouldn't get idea from this, like how to use?

Can you please assist me if possible?

Thanks in advance!

I found this helpful in defining the terminology & basic architecture of Bluetooth Mesh:

On the page I linked earlier, scroll down that page a bit ...

Also, click the 'Get Documentation' button, which takes you to:

Bottom line: Mesh is not simple - expect to invest considerable time in understanding the general concepts and architecture, and then in getting to grips with Nordic's particular implementation ...

Sorry for late reply,

I will read and understand carefully and still if I'm stuck somewhere I'll post my issue.

Thank you so much for your time.
