adding BLE to gfx project

[yuval]

i have a complete project  based the gfx project and i want to add BLE using UART for communication. i want to communicate my module with the nRF52840 dongle. 

is there simple way to do it? rather adding all the libraries that the BLE project has?

What "gfx" project ?

Have you looked at the pc-ble-driver:

https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver

in the nRF52 examples, one of the project is graphic ; ...nRF5_SDK_14.2.0_17b948a\examples\peripheral\gfx.

since my project started from the touch LCD i based the code on those drivers. now i want to add the BLE communication.

if i look at the app/ble examples , there are a lot of drivers , some of them (probably many) are not needed. i wanted to know if someone added BT capabilities to a non BT project.

the github example is not relevant

The same should apply to a BLE and non-BLE project

I recommend you start with the closest BLE project and import your GFX code into that since the BLE project has much more dependencies. Going the other way around is more work and more error-prone.

Seconded.

And worth spending some time with the unmodified BLE Project to gain familiarity with it before adding stuff ...
