Hello Dan,

Although you didn't specifically ask for it, I took the time to look into this for my own sake, and since I spent a bit of time on it, I see no reason not to share it. (I have to get more familiar with Zephyr).

The attached project uses buttons 1 and 2 on the DK to move the mouse (left and up, respectively). Button 3 is mouse right click, and button 4 is scroll (push to scroll up, and release to scroll down).

This is for a DK, and not your custom HW, but if you are stuck, perhaps you can look into it.

Best regards,

Edvin,

Thanks! The complete erase helped.

I did a complete erase of the target then restarted the debugger. The PC immediately recognized the Mouse and was able to connect and run the motion sensor that is attached to the dev board. I am using an Adafruit feather_nrf52840 connected to a PMW3360 optical sensor.

Next, I need to connect the scroll wheel, buttons and leds... The Zephyr configuration is new to me. 8^)

Thanks again for your help.

Dan

Thanks,

Dan

Edvin,

I will try the full flash erase as you suggested.

Thanks,

Dan

Hello,

Does this behavior also occur when you run the project on a DK? Or do you suspect that this is HW specific?

My Windows PC no longer recognizes the advertisements from the Mouse? I think I was able to connect once to my setup, but during

testing I removed the device from Windows. The nrf52840 is advertising as shown by the BLE sniffer and my Iphone running "nrf Connect" sees them.

It doesn't perfectly match your description, because you can still connect from other devices, but it sounds like you have some bonding issues. Can you please try to remove the device from your PC's bluetooth list, and then erase the entire flash on the nRF52, and re program it. Are you able to connect to it again at that point?

BR,

Edvin
