Glad you were able to figure it out!

Hello Simon,

Thank you for your prompt response! I set the pin defines manually to 11 and 12 in my "pca10040.h" file. I checked the data flowing into the pins(P0.11 && P0.12) with a bus pirate which gave me some insight as to what was going wrong. This led me to changing my app_uart_put() logic was formatted and then changing the loop variable to zero and it works now!

Thank you so much.

Hi Brian

What pins have you configured as UART pins on the nRF52 DK? By default these are set to P0.06 (TXD) and P0.08 (RXD), so please make sure these are connected correctly. Also, please check what error code it is that returns, as you should be able to get some info from that. You can use the RTT viewer for logging purposes when the UART is in use by the application.

Can you try setting some breakpoints and find out where the error that puts you in this loop is called? You can also try setting the loop variable to 0 in the debugger to continue executing after this error check.

As for your post, you did a great job, no broken rules, and a well-structured question.

Best regards,

Simon
