RTT stops working when power is disturbed by motor.

Hi Everyone

As the subject mention,

RTT stops working when power is disturbed by motor.

But other fuction that like ble,spi,uart are work well ,

I must cutoff the power and , put on the power again ,the RTT is work.

Any help from you will be appreciate!

Best regards!

  • Hi

    I am assuming you are using a DK as you are running the RTT. How is your circuit connected, could it be possible that the programming chip isn't getting a high enough current to run while your motor is running? Please specify what kind of "motor" this is, what SDK you are using, and confirm whether or not you are using a DK.

  • Hi Simonr

    Sorry for my unclear description

    1. I use a custom board

    2. The motor is used to move up and down , sometimes when motor moves , then the RTT stop working (but other fuction like ble works well)

    3. SDK‘version  is 12.3

    I guess the reason is power noise,

    But MCU have not reset when the motor moves,only RTT stop working ,this phenomenon confused me

  • What are you using as debugger interface? As the DK is using PCA10040, that chip needs more power to run properly than the nRF chip itself, and you need the debugger chip to run RTT. I am guessing that your motor is drawing too much power to keep the debugger chip running. You probably have to optimise the circuit so that this doesn't occur.

    Best regards,
