Enabling USB and BLE on nRF52840 dongle

[Masoumeh]

Hi, 

I want to receive data on BLE and send it through USB to PC, I am using SDK17 and nRF52840 dongle. I send data from the transmitter with nRF52832 through ESB configuration. which examples in SDK can help me to enable the receiver as easy as possible?

Hi,

The USBD BLE UART Example demonstrates combining BLE and USB.

Hi,

nRF52840 dongle is pca10059 but the examples in SDK are for pca10056, and when I change the board in preprocessor definition, I get errors which are the result of the differences in pin assignments.

Hi,

I am not sure why you see that. I just tested this on SDK 17.0.2, and the only change I needed to do to get this working was to change the preprocessor define BOARD_PCA10056 to BOARD_PCA10059. With that, the sample worked as expected on the nRF52840 dongle (I was able to connect via BLE, and send data both ways using NUS via nRF Connect on a phone and PuTTY on a computer).
