Hi,

You will need to add the Peer Manager to the NUS examples in order to support pairing/bonding. You should take a look at another example on how it is done, for example, ble_app_hrs.

Update: when integrating these functions into my application, my device just connects and disconnects over and over again. The nF52 application enters the "BLE_GAP_EVT_CONNECTED" case of function "ble_evt_handler()", but then disconnects itself and enters the "BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED" case of the function "ble_evt_handler()". No error is thrown, it just repeatedly connects, disconnects, connects, disconnects, repeatedly.

Update: I have tried incorporating all peer manager functions from the ble_app_uart example, but now my application hangs and just says "connecting". Specifically I have incorporated pm_evt_handler(), peer_manager_init(), delete_bonds().

Perhaps I am confused, but I don't see how bonding actually is performed in the ble_app_template example. The peer manager is initialized, but I do not see any function call that "creates the bond". There must be something I am missing here.

Also, how can I check if a device is bonded or not? I have the nRF Connect mobile application, the most recent version, and there does not seem to be any indication anywhere of whether my device is bonded or not.
