Connect nrf52840 to a dongle nRF52840

[NicoTrax]

Hi everyone,

We are going to certify a TRAXENS product design that contain an electronic card with a nRF52840 module on it. For that, we want to communicate with the nRF52 embedded module through a computer.

We found the nRF52840 Dongle on the website, does this product respond to our requirement ?

 

Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi,

 

Technically you can probably use a nRF52840, but we do not have any ready to use SW for that so you would have to figure out and implement yourself how to get the respective commands over USB through to your module.

 

For the certification I would rather recommend nRF52 DK, this comes with a debugger chip that you can use as a programmer and USB-to-UART converter, allowing you to interface with the module through a COM port terminal. You can then use the radio test example. You can also use a different USB-to-UART converter, just hook the UART lines up to the UART pins you have configured in the test example.

 

Best regards,

Andreas
