read battery status using nfc with nrf52832

[pd@learner]

Hi,

I am not yet familiar with NFC.Is it possible to read battery data  from the NFC tag of the nRF52 to another device (for example a smartphone). I want to write simple application that reads battery status when the NFC tag is read by an NFC polling device, I want to write application using sdk 12.3.0 and sd132.

Hello,

Yes. You can write whatever data you want to the NFC tag. Please check out the example:

SDK15.3.0\examples\nfc\record_text

Best regards,

Edvin

Thanks For quick response.

I have tried sdk12.3.0\examples\nfc\record_text. It reads 'Hello World' in three different languages. But when i am trying to read battery status every time it reads 0 value.

 How exactly do you measure the battery level, and how do you pass on to the NFC?

[pd@learner]

uint8_t  percentage_batt_lvl;

void get_battery_status()
{
	saadc_init();
	nrf_drv_saadc_sample();
	nrf_delay_us(200);
	nrf_drv_saadc_uninit();
  
}
void sperNum(uint8_t sepNum, uint8_t num[])
{
   
   num[0] = sepNum%10+48;
   num[1] = (sepNum/10)%10+48;
   num[2] = (sepNum/100)+48;
   
   
}
static void en_record_add(nfc_ndef_msg_desc_t * p_ndef_msg_desc)
{
/** @snippet [NFC text usage_1] */
uint32_t err_code;

static const uint8_t en_code[] = {'e', 'n'};

uint8_t p[3];

sperNum(percentage_batt_lvl,p);

NFC_NDEF_TEXT_RECORD_DESC_DEF(en_text_rec,
UTF_8,
en_code,
sizeof(en_code),
p,
sizeof(p));
/** @snippet [NFC text usage_1] */

err_code = nfc_ndef_msg_record_add(p_ndef_msg_desc,
&NFC_NDEF_TEXT_RECORD_DESC(en_text_rec));
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

}

I have called get_battery_status function in main context  in for loop.

Ok. Do you get the callback from the saadc? Does it have any values, or is it 0?

And en_text_rec, is it 0, or does it contain a value?

Have you tried debugging (turn off optimization in your project) to see where it fails?

The problem is now solved. Actually problem is with my pca10040 board.I have tried with another pca10040 board and got required output.
