EDIT: It seems that the app hangs in nrf_saadc_event_check() after initializing channel0. I'll further investigate!
Current I'm at the point at which I found out that
nrf_drv_saadc_buffer_convert(m_buffer_pool[1],SAADC_SAMPLES_IN_BUFFER);
Is causing the app to hang at
while (nrf_saadc_event_check(NRF_SAADC_EVENT_STARTED) == 0);
I'm running two timers using app_timer on a nrf52840 DK using S140. Whenever I try to initialize the SAADC by using the function below, my timers started using app_timer stop firing. Is this because somehow the SAADC is trying to use the same timer as app_timer? If so, how can I change the timer the SAADC is using?
