Enable temp and accel

[CE]

I have a beacon from Wellcore, w912, with NRF51822QFAAH0. I use NRF Connect and I see the temp and accel sensors but I dont know how to enable them. Is there a manual you can direct me to or give me the values I need to enable, set range, and more so I can use my two beacons.

Please ask the manufacturer of the product for advice

Temperature is on NRF51822, right?

Yes, the nRF51822 has an internal temperature sensor.

But you said you could "see the temp and accel sensors" - so they must be external to the nRF chip.

Either way, if you're talking about accessing these via the software provided by Wellcore in their product, you will need to ask Wellcore about that - it is their own custom software; nothing to do with Nordic.

Or are you talking about erasing the Wellcore software, and writing your own ... ?

I'm just learning. Acctually I can "see" the accel sensor on the chip/board, it's that rectangular shiny thing close to SW1?

I didn't know that Wellcore has their own software, or firmware. The beacon has nRF5_SDK_11.0.0_89a8197 as "Software Revision String".

I thought that the beacon came with some kind of function that answered an app for example when asked for data, also sending at intervalls defined through some outer software. But you are saying that each company has their own firmware on the chip and that is what answers the app for example Lightblue. And they can lock the sensors with their firmware.

Isn't there a enable code in the standard firmware, if so why would they want to change it?

I have tried to get the information from Wellcore, I even sent a video showing my beacons, but so far I haven't got any info from them. Still hoping. Otherwise, the alternative is to remove the firmware and put my own. And I suppose you have some standard firmware I can use?

I'm building an app that use the temp and accel, it's my first shot with a beacon. I appreciate all help I can get.

Actually the shiny tnig seems to be an on/off switch. But good news from Wellcore, they asked for a picture of the chip and when they had studied it they told me that temp and accel is not on my chip. I find it strang that NRF Connect finds them and shows values and even stranger that they could see that I dont have a temp-sensor, you said it is always there on 51822, right. So why cant I get values from temp, I guess temp is what the chip need to shut down if it's to hot or cold?
