BUTTON_1 release issue

[good_night]

I expanded the button events based on example ble_peripheral ble_app_hrs by

bsp_event_to_button_action_assign (0, BSP_BUTTON_ACTION_RELEASE, BSP_EVENT_KEY_0_RELEASE);
bsp_event_to_button_action_assign (1, BSP_BUTTON_ACTION_RELEASE, BSP_EVENT_KEY_1_RELEASE);
bsp_event_to_button_action_assign (2, BSP_BUTTON_ACTION_RELEASE, BSP_EVENT_KEY_2_RELEASE);
bsp_event_to_button_action_assign (3, BSP_BUTTON_ACTION_RELEASE, BSP_EVENT_KEY_3_RELEASE);

and everything works fine (button press and button release events for all 4 buttons) till I connect the device:

Then button_1 release event (in code: BSP_EVENT_KEY_0_RELEASE) does not appear further more - I do not receive the event also after disconnecting.

Any hint what prevents this event?

Hi.

So being in a connection prevents you from getting events from the button release? That sounds strange.

Could you add information about what device, SDK version, SD version etc. you are working with?

2 devices: rF52840 DK and costomized HW with SDK 16.0

all the same behaviour: button 1 release is not working, other button releases (2 to 4) are working well.

btw.: I have disabled sleep_mode_enter() in on_adv_evt(case BLE_ADV_EVT_IDLE) and in bsp_event_handler(case BSP_EVENT_SLEEP) because I need no power saving so far.
Could it be the bonding to wake the device : remark for buttons_leds_init() - If yes, how to disable it?

Hi.

I tried adding the button release event in an example myself, and it works as expected.

Maybe you could upload your project, so I can take a look at it? We can turn the ticket private first, if you don't want to upload your code to the public forum.

Hi Joakim,

Yes we can do so. I have modified the ble_app_hrs_pca10056_s140 example - how can I send you a zipped file of the project?

ble_app_hrs_modified.zip

I found the insert file function ;-)

Button1 and Button2 control LED3 and

Button3 and Button4 control LED4.

Log is switched on via COM.

After connecting the device (PCA10056) the Button1 release event does not appear any more.

Before connection the event works well.

Hi Joakim,

I did further investigation to fix the problem but an insert of

bsp_wakeup_button_disable(0);

does not result in preventing the wakeup as expected: all events are now disabled for button 1 (button #0).

Can you confirm the issue in the modified project I provided in the zip file?

Thank you for all support to fix it!

Hi Joakim,

further investigation with 5 active buttons (code for pca10056.h shown in code box)

#define BUTTONS_NUMBER 5  // 4

//#define BUTTON_1       11
#define BUTTON_1       NRF_GPIO_PIN_MAP(1,07)  // dummy
#define BUTTON_2       11
#define BUTTON_3       12
#define BUTTON_4       24
#define BUTTON_5       25
#define BUTTON_PULL    NRF_GPIO_PIN_PULLUP

shows that a workaround would be possible with avoid using button_1 (here set as a dummy port).

All events for BUTTON_2 to BUTTON_5 are working well now.

The missbehaviour keeps linked to BUTTON_1 which seems to have a special function.

How to disable this special function?

Thank you for all hints & KR

P.S.: sdk_config.h needs to be changed in one line:

// <o> GPIOTE_CONFIG_NUM_OF_LOW_POWER_EVENTS - Number of lower power input pins 
#ifndef GPIOTE_CONFIG_NUM_OF_LOW_POWER_EVENTS
#define GPIOTE_CONFIG_NUM_OF_LOW_POWER_EVENTS 5 // 4 <---
#endif
