Tutorial nRF52840

Hi,

pretty new to my nRF52840 DK,PCA10056. Like to learn more about the BLE but since new to the Blue Tooth programming I need a tutorial

so I can learn step by step. Have seen and tried one of the tutorials at DevZone, but at usual I get to a stage where things dont correspond,

doesnt make sense or are out dated. Take the "Bluetooth low energy Services, a beginner's tutorial". When getting to the stage where to

load the example file, I just cant find or load the file ""nrf52-ble-tutorial-service.emProject". I find the file under : https://github.com/NordicPlayground/nrf51-ble-tutorial-service/blob/master/SDK%2015.0.0/nrf5-ble-tutorial-service/pca10040/s132/ses/nrf52-ble-tutorial-service.emProject.

First this file is not possible to copy unless you highlight it. Second this file is for PCA10040/S132 and will not work for my version of the board.

Are there any walid up to date BLE tutorials and other tutorials for my version of the board and chip? I know about the examples but they are

not well explained and many of them dont work for my version PCA10056.

Finally, haveI understood correct, SoftDevice working for nRF52840 is ONLY S140 ?

  • Hi

    I am sorry to say that we haven't gotten around to making an up to date, step by step tutorial for the nRF52840 as of yet. I suggest you use our example projects in conjunction with devzone as best you can. The Devzone blog is also frequently updated with new articles on a variety of interesting applications. 

    It is correct that the nRF52840 is only compatible with the S140 SoftDevice, as it was made specifically to be used with the nRF52840 chip. 

    Best regards,

    Simon
