Hi.

You can find more information about how to test the example here;

"3. When the the serial example is running, start testing it using the Interactive PyACI. Refer to the Interactive PyACI documentation for details."

Best regards,

I loaded the Bluetooth Mesh Serial Interface Example to nRF52840DK and linked it to PC via USB. I then opened the Terminal Program (I tried with RealTerm in Windows and CoolTerm in Mac) nothing was shown. I am not sure whether the baudrate and the configurations are correct or not, thus I was asking the configuration for baudrate, data bit, parity and stop bits.

I see.

Then I would suggest taking a look at the serial example.

Could you elaborate on this? What do you mean by "not seem to be working as intended"?

Hi, thanks for your response.

Yes, I managed to get the output through RTT. However, what I intended to do is to use USB Serial COM port to get the data so that I can process the received data through my own desktop program then send to cloud, in other words, I cannot retrieve and process the received data from RTT. Is there any other ways to do so?

Hi.

What data would you like to read out? The native example will output some data.

When testing the Light Switch Client/Server I get this output using the debug window in SES (You can also use i.e RTT viewer):

Output on server:

Here you can see the output from the example started, the provisioning and receiving a message from the client.
