nrf52840 development

[Andrea Gonelli]

Hello,

I've a board with usb port

I can insert on USB the Raytac MDBT50Q-RX  containing the nrf52840 and:

- my microcontroller  can recognize it as CDC ACM USB serial port

- I connect it using Android/ios nrftoolbox and send-receive data with my table/phone

One of most important goal is reached (someone will develop the android/ios interface, if needed they will ask information about it)

To develop on my side and to add other features, we would need to connect the module to a pc. We could have a pc with BLE or not.

What is your opinion? Which is the best/fastest way to do it?

Thanks in advance

What board, exactly?

Post a link.

What microcontroller?

I connect it

What is "it" here?

A diagram would help.

Some good, clear, in-focus photos may also be useful.

Certainly start with an nRF52840-DK!

That way you get

• a well-known, supported hardware platform
• a built-in J-Link programmer/debugger
• ready-made example projects in the SDK

Hi awneil

thanks for your answer

my board is an industrial control using microchip pic32mx microntroller

it works fine because is able to detect and exchange data with MDBT50Q-RX device using the

nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart sample code and nrftoolbox

my question is

using the same code on MDBT50Q-RX, in which way could be possible use a pc instead of nrftoolbox android/ios application?

Hi,

The easiest way to program the MDBT50Q-RX would be to use USB DFU. I'm not sure about the details of the dongle, as it's an external product, but we have a guide regarding programming our nRF52840 dongle. I would suggest that you take a look at it.
