How to send string message from nrf52840 to raspberry pi?

Hi.

I just wonder how can I send string message through ble.

I will use raspberrypi as server. You can check whole code below.

It works well with computer bluetooth comunication based on windows.

but I don't know which example I should use when I use nrf52840.

Before, I used ble_app_blinky example. but It couldn't connect with raspberry pi.

  • Hello zester926,

    You can try this example to send a string from nRF52840 to Raspberry Pi: examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart.

    However, if you want to send more than 23 bytes, you should edit this in file ble_gatt.h:

    #define BLE_GATT_ATT_MTU_DEFAULT          23                /* Change this to 247 */

    This is one of many ways, you can spend more time researching.

    Best regards,

        Duy
