Hi Maria

You upload the example to the nRF51822 Development kit and then it will sample the ADC and send the ADC data over BLE and on the configured UART pins. You can then use e.g. the Master Control Panel to receive the data received over BLE, it receives the data via the PCA10000 dongle (which has master emulator firmware to receive BLE data). Then to connect the UART to the PC, you need to connect the nRF6310 motherboard RS232 port to a UART port on the PC, and connect the nRF6310 motherbord like done here.

Let me know if my message is adequate or not

Hi Stefan Thank you for your answer, would the ADC example works in PCA10000? Im trying to send the data via BLE to the dongle then via UART to the PC.

Hi Maria

Perhaps the best way to start is to look at some code examples. On Nordic's Github, you can find some ADC examples, with and without softdevice (Nordic's BLE protocol stack). The adc-example-with-softdevice-and-UART example uses ADC sampling and transfers the value to the hardware UART as well as transfers the value over BLE, which you can receive with Master Control Panel, via the PCA10001 dongle. You can also write data from the Master Control Panel to the device which will then be forwarded on the hardware UART. More information on how the examples work, should be given at the top of the main file in each example.

I do not however fully understand your scenario. Do you intend to send the data to the PC via UART or BLE?
