Testing on Modules of Alert Notification Application and Immediate Alert Client Application

[swathi p]

Hi Sir/Madam,

I tried testing Alert Application notification by performing mentioned testing steps but after i reach 4th step i.e Bond to the device from nRF Connect (the device is advertising as 'Nordic_Alert_Notif'). To bond, click the settings button for the server in nRF Connect, select "Security parameters", check "Perform Bonding", and click "Apply". Then connect to the device. Observe that the BSP_INDICATE_CONNECTED state is indicated.

Problems noticed:

1)Unable to find device advertising as 'Nordic_Alert_Notif' 

2)Unable to observe  BSP_INDICATE_CONNECTED state is indicated.

 

I also tried testing  Immediate Alert Client Application and followed mentioned steps but coudn't find <InstallFolder>\examples\ble_peripheral\experimental\ble_app_ias_c folder. Load the file findMeMasterServer.ncs. but it is found to be in nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_ias_c tried loading findMeMasterServer.ncs from this folder.

and then tried to connect to the device named nRF Connect but when i press button 1 and observe change in value is not noticed as mentioned.

Thank You.

Hi.

Have you programmed / flashed the Application correctly?

You should see it advertising.

Hi,

NOTE:The application program is from SDK 15.3.0 and in that related softdevice is of V6.1.1

yes,I programmed the application by following mentioned procedure.But,intially when i select the device through nRF Connect(desktop) I was asked to program the device and then i clicked 'yes' and i observed in the log it  displayed that v3 of softdevice is downloaded ,when i click 'no' nRF Connect(desktop) is getting crashed.

what might be the misleading factor?

Thank You.

Hi.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to achieve here to be honest. The point of the Alert Notification Service is to transmit alerts/notifications, and the example writes to the terminal. From my understanding it looks like you want to see alerts or notifications in nRF Connect, but this example is a client, so it is from the phone (which are running nRF connect in your case) you have to transmit alerts/notifications.

An area of use for this example could for example be a smart watch showing who's calling.

Best regards,

Hi,

yes I got clear understanding now on what purpose this example can be applied.Thank you for explanation and as you said this example can be used on applications like smart watch,here smart watch acts as client and mobile acts as server.Alert Notification Service Client example is applicable for programming Client(smart watch) whose intention is to recieve alerts.

If I want to implement in such a way that where applicaton part is to act as server which sends notifications to mobile.To make it more clear assume any device like smartwatch having some sensor within it has to send notification to mobile on particular changes on sensor values.In this case device should act as server and mobile should act as client.I hope I made you clear of what I want to achieve.To attain my purpose suggest me how implementation can be done?

Thank you.

Hi.

You can for example use the Proximity Application example, the Heart Rate Application example, or the UART/Serial Port Emulation over BLE example (this has both ways).

Hi,

As I am new to this BLE applications I am unable to get actual flow of implementing  a service to send application specific alert notifications from server which includes characteristics like NEW ALERT and UNREAD ALERT.Please make me clear about how it can be implemented?

Thank you.

Hi.

Could you create a new ticket for this question?

Since this question is not the same as the one asked in the start of this ticket, and it will be hard for other community members to find it when they are searching.

Best regards,
