Hello George, Can you share how did you manage to connect your dongle with the Pi as a transceiver?

I wanted to know if there's any example that I can flash it and start transmiting raw packets on 2.4GHz band. But I think I'll have to write my own firmware on the chip.

Hello,

I am not quite sure what you request here. You want to implement a custom proprietary protocol using the nRF52840? Please note that if it is a custom protocol, you need to make your own software for the nRF.

We have pieces of what you probably want as separate examples. There are several examples demonstating the different serial protocols, such as UART, SPI and I2C(TWI). All of these you will find in the SDK\examples\peripheral folder.. Then there is a set of examples with raw radio, which you will find in SDK\examples\proprietary_rf folder.

Note that if you really don't need to use a proprietary RF protocol, there is a set of examples called ble_app_uart and ble_app_uart_c, found in the ble_peripheral and ble_central folders, respectively, which does pretty much what you are looking for over BLE. Whatever you enter on UART on one side will come out of the UART on the other side.

Best regards,

Edvin
