Controlling RGB LED on Nordic thingy 52 using nrf52 SDK

[rajAsthana]

Hi,

I am using Nordic thingy 52 for my application, Now I need to blink LED for 5 seconds on Board when ever a condition is satisfied. But in schematic of Nordic thingy 52 LED is not directly connected to NRF52832 controller.

So please help me to control the LED (LIGHTWELL RGB LED) on board.

Board used - Nordic thingy 52

SDK version - 17.0

Thanks,

Raj

Hello Raj, 

The Thingy:52 is not included in nRF5 SDK v17.0.0

Please see Thingy:52 documentation in Infocenter, and the firmware documentation v2.2.0. You can also have a look at the nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee, which mentions the Thingy:52 in the BLE Thingy and Zigbee Color Light Bulb Example. But I believe the latter will only search for Thingy:52 running default FW from the former FW documentation.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hi Øyvind,

 

First of all thanks for your reply.

Actually I am developing an application based on Beacon, And in Nordic thingy 52 SDK there is no sample on Beacon.

So I use Beacon sample present in NRF52 SDK -17. So can you please suggest me any other way through which I can 

simply toggle the led for 5 seconds is condition is satisfied.

Or can you please tell me if there is any LED directly connected to the GPIO of the controller(NRF52832) on Board.

Thanks

Raj.

Hi Raj, 

As the Thingy:52 FW (that you need to use) is based on nRF5 SDK v13.0.0, you will need to migrate the SDK from 13 to 17. This can be done by following the following migration guides:

Migrate from SDK v13 to v14

Migrate from SDK v14 to v15

Migrate from SDK v15 to v16

Migrate from SDK v16 to v17

Also, have a look at the answer from my colleague Bjørn here. There are several topics on this in the forum, just search for Thingy 52 in DevZone

Kind regards,
Øyvind
