Problems with changing the uart pins for the s120 ble_app_uart

ble_app_uart_c2.rar

I want to connect two PCA10001's together, one with the ble_app_uart for s120 using sdk 8, and one with the experimental_ble_app_uart for s110 using sdk 7.2. I want these two to be connected to other devices over BLE.

I was told that i cannot use the original UART pins for this because these are directly connected to the J-segger, so i am trying to change the RX and TX pins to some of the other GPIO-pins (don't need flow control so i don't care too much for the RTS or CTS).

The idea is that i want to just receive data over BLE, and then send it to the next device over UART, which retransmits the data to a new device over BLE. I am able to switch pins and get the s110 part to work as wanted, but i cannot seem to change the s120 pins without meeting the problem which makes all LEDs turn on, i believe similar to this:

I was thinking of just changing the UART-part of the s120 to simple_uart, same as the s110 uses, or if there is a way for me to fix the problem so i can use the same UART as the s120 allready uses, but just change pins?

This is my first time using the nRF's or really programming a microcontroller at all so if there is anything to comment in general feel free to do so. Any help would be greatly appriciated
