Thingy52 concentrator for 15 heart rate sensor

[Andrea Aizza]

hi,

would like to use Thingy52 as in object: thingy52 to connect as central to 15 heart rate peripherals simoultaneosly and send the consolidated data (application to define firnat of cinsolidated dara) over a ble uart. Is that possible?

i guess this icould be about running some exampkes similar to nrf52sdk ble_uart togher with ble_multicentral tweeked with 15 instances of ble_hrs_c. Right? If yes can the what is needed to run nrf52sdk exaples on thingy? 

Thanks in advance,

Andrea

You can take a look at the aggregator code here. It should be possible to use the Thingy:52 as the aggregator. You may need to turn off UART logging in order to get it working. Make sure to use the ble_aggregator/pca10040/s132 code. I would recommend using Segger Embedded Studio to test. I am pretty certain the Nordic UART service is used to send data from the aggregator to the phone & vice versa.

 Yes

You will need to flash the Thingy code via an SWD cable & some kind of J-Link, for example via a nRF5x DK.

Excellent thanks! I can flash and debug thingy with nrf52840dk using ext denug port. Sorry for being dummy here, any guide on how to edit the armgcc .ld linker script (mem addr and sizes ...) or eventually the config_sdk file of pca10040 board to run on thingy? No edit needed just fladh it and flash siftdevice s132?

Takk,

Andrea

I would try first without & see if that works. Both the pca10040 & the Nordic Thingy use the 52832 chip.
