Hi Hung,

Well, now that you're saying it i'm starting to doubt wether or not I've tried adding app_timer_init() in front of it. I don't think it made a difference, but it indeed is the app_timer_create() call that's returning the error.

I've got a hard deadline for tomorrow so don't really have time to look into it, but I definetely will in the future. I'll keep you updated.

Oh and btw, I'm aware of the example. I took it as a guideline for the changes but am not using CMake. Thanks anyway.

Kind regards,

Jochem

Hi,

Have you tried to step into the code and check which function actually returning NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE ?
If it's app_timer_create() call inside the app_button_init() returned error 8 then it's because app_timer_init() should be called prior to the call to app_timer_create().
Please refer to our example in the SDK, we usually call timer_init() before any call to the app_button.
Btw, we have this example for mesh+ free RTOS, it may be useful for you: https://github.com/NordicPlayground/nrf-mesh-freeRTOS-example
