nrf9160-dk getting value from switches

Sorry, I had not changed the configure line and that explains the error message.

That fixed, I have a clean build but the program was not seeing switch 1.

I tracked this down to sw1 = &button3; in the <BOARD>_common.dts

This translates to pin 7 which is wired to push button 2 on the DK board.

So I changed the program to #define SW1_NODE DT_ALIAS(sw2)

Which now picks up Switch 1. I did not change the .dts file for the board in case it broke other stuff.

So we can close this now. Thx.

Also, have a look at the Button sample in Zephyr. This should do what you are looking for.

Hi,

...

You have Zephyr OS v2.4, assuming you are using NCS v1.4.x.

Have you configured correct PIN as per my last comment? From gpio.h

/**

Hi @Øyvind

On the 9160dk the default for Switch 1 is pin 8 with alias sw1.

I'm using ncs 2.4. It seems it doesn't include an http_update sample. (I could not find any example of polling a switch.)

I just want to be able to poll the switch to get its value.

RE: nrf9160-dk getting value from switches

Hello,

Can you please elaborate on what you are trying to achieve? What version of NCS are you working on?

What pin number are you trying to configure?

//This is you function call
gpio_pin_configure(sw1, GPIO_INPUT, GPIO_PULL_DOWN);

//From what I can see, you should change it to the following:
gpio_pin_configure(sw1, SW1_PIN, GPIO_PULL_DOWN);

Looking at how gpio_pin_configure() is configured in e.g. http_update sample:

#define SW1_PIN (DT_GPIO_PIN(DT_ALIAS(sw1), gpios))
#define SW1_FLAGS (DT_GPIO_FLAGS(DT_ALIAS(sw1), gpios))

static int button_init(void)
{
	int err;

	gpiob = device_get_binding(DT_GPIO_LABEL(DT_ALIAS(sw1), gpios));
	if (gpiob == 0) {
		printk("Nordic nRF GPIO driver was not found!\n");
		return 1;
	}
	err = gpio_pin_configure(gpiob, SW1_PIN, GPIO_INPUT | SW1_FLAGS);
	if (err == 0) {
		gpio_init_callback(&gpio_cb, fmfu_button_pressed, BIT(SW1_PIN));
		err = gpio_add_callback(gpiob, &gpio_cb);
	}
	if (err == 0) {
		fmfu_button_irq_enable();
	}
	if (err != 0) {
		printk("Unable to configure SW1 GPIO pin!\n");
		return 1;
	}
	return 0;
}

From zephyr\include\drivers\gpio.h
