nRF52840 Dongle - Communicating over USB COM Port

[eleven-x_devteam]

Currently, I am trying to create a UART connection between the nRF52840 Dongle and my PC. I am working with the usbd_ble_uart example found in the dongle SDK. I managed to successfully load the compiled hex of the usbd_ble_uart example using the nRF Connect Programmer application and it seems to be running as expected. 

My question is where / how do I get the output streaming from the dongle? It seems to recognize being connected to serial and receiving commands (via its LEDs) but I cannot find a way to view the output of the dongle through my PC (from my serial port connection). Any information on this would be highly appreciated.

Hi

PuTTY or a similar terminal should work just fine to read the UART data. You can follow these instructions to set it up and test the usbd_ble_uart example. Also, make sure your terminal settings are correct.

Due to the summer holidays in Norway, our support team is understaffed this week, and delayed replies must be expected. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Best regards,

Simon

Hello!

Thank you for your response. I followed the suggested terminal settings but still can't seem to be getting output from the dongle. I want to be able to read output I send from the dongle via main.c from PuTTY. Is there a special way to do so aside from your NRF_LOG_INFO or printf?
