I recently came across the Smart Remote 3 product by Nordic. I currently have a product in development that is a remote that has very similar functionality. Even down to the key scan chip SX1509. I just developed a shield to go with the nRF52840 DK that has all the key components laid out to develop against. I have been using the Adafruit Bluefruit52 Library but find it's limitations when I must be able to debug and also implement OTA DFU for this more complex project.
I find the Smart Remote 3 architecture design to be what I need to follow. I have the source code for the Smart Remote 3 but it uses the SDK 14.2. It's day one of development and I'm starting the journey with the scheduler task and already ran into an issue with SDK version differences. To continue on with the design of a background and foreground scheduler, what does Nordic recommend since this "app_isched.h" source code isn't compatible with SDK 16.0.0? With SDK 16.0.0, do I even need this level of scheduling now and is the priority of handling the BLE Stack events already managed for me and I can just use app_timers to do my work? Does the SDK scheduler have priority event options? Are there any updated scheduler examples using SDK 16.0.0? Should I consider FreeRTOS as a replacement solution? I think that will be a over complicated solution for what I need and think I will have better support using components from the SDK. If so are there any examples that implement similar solution as the Smart Remote? I plan to use this thread for my adventures through this firmware and support. It's my first production project using Segger Studio and none Arduino based project. I'm learning curve will be step in the begining.
Thanks
