Hello
I have a 3 custom PCBs with nRF52832 (1 central and 2 peripherals) and 1 nRF51 dongle (peripheral) arrangement where the two peripheral nRF52832 boards (custom PCBs) send their data to the central nRF52832, which then sends this data along with its own data to the dongle. For this purpose, I have merged the NUS client example with Multilink central program.
I am attaching the relevant main.c codes (for central device) below for your review. The UART receiver codes in dongle works just fine. I tried it with other example UART codes, connects well.
I am using SDK 14.2.0. I have no compilation errors but my central board does not connect with the dongle.Please let me know what changes I have to make
