Sending data packets across BLE Mesh

[urvakshs]

My project consists of reading an NFC card's value (using another chip), and respond to the interrupt generated by that chip to read the value from it using SPI. Then, this data needs to be broadcasted over a Mesh network to a specific node, which will then use UART to send another microcontroller.

So far, I am able to handle the interrupt generated by reading in the value using SPI, and I have also configured UART to work as per the provided UART example.

My question is, how am I supposed to send such small packets of data over the Mesh network? I tried looking it up and a post on the devzone popped up, which mentioned the "access layer" for simple messages (such as my own). 

Are there any examples in the SDK that I could look at, which would help me with sending such formatted packets across a mesh?

Thank you in advance!

Hi, 

I suggest you have a look at our Light switch example from the SDK, it is a good starting point. Also take a look at Including nRF5 SDK in an nRF5 SDK for Mesh example and the UART coexistence example.
