Extract data from Bluetooth Mesh

[Loic Freiburghaus]

Hello,

I modified the light_switch example of the Mesh SDK to transmit sensor data. Currently the Mesh is made of one client and several servers (all are nRF52840). The client requests the sensor data from each server, all servers respond to this client, thus the client receives all sensor data.

Now I would like to extract this sensor data from the client to put in on a cloud or first, to put it on a device that is outside of the Mesh. My first idea for this was by using BLE to connect to e.g. a smartphone, meaning that the client node should run the nRF5 SDK and the nRF5 SDK for Mesh.

I saw the sdk_coexistence examples, but unfortunately they only work on the S132 SoftDevice and not on the S140 that is used on the nRF52840.

Is there any coexistence example for the nRF52840? Because implementing it from scratch seems quite demanding.

If you know an easier way to extract data from the Mesh I am all ears and open for every proposition. I already considered an UART connection to an external device which would probably be simpler.

Thank you!

Regards,

Loïc

Hi,

Unfortunately, we don't have coexistence example for the nRF52840 in our SDK. I would recommend to have a look at Including nRF5 SDK in an nRF5 SDK for Mesh example and use the coexistence example as a reference, to implement UART into your mesh application for the nRF52840.
