Thank you! Seems to work now.

Hi,

The code is using the GPIOTE driver APIs to control the LED outputs without configuring any GPIOTE OUT channels first. This causes the assert check at line ~381 in nrfx_gpiote.c to fail. I'm guessing that this check was not implemented in SDK 15.2.0.

I suggest that you use the nrf_gpio_* functions instead as shown in the modified main.c file below. GPIOTE was not used to control the LEDs anyway.

Vidar Berg Please see this path for the project:

pca10040/blank/ses/app_timer_tutorial_pca10040

By the way, I used the "nrfx_power.c" as the file originally added on the project does not exist on the SDK version I used (v16)

Hi,

Which one of the projects in the attachment did you work on? The ones I tried did not compile because of missing dependencies such as app_timer.c.
