A library generally contains a library_name.h file and a library_name.c file. If using the .zip style architecture, you need to include both files in your project. When you have included the files in your project, you can use the library by calling its various functions.

To include the library_name.h file, start with adding the path to the library_name.h file as Øyvind has described in his answer. Additionally, type the following at the top of your main.c file or whatever file you want to call call the library from:

#include library_name.h

If the library also contains a .c file, then you must include that also with the following:

Open "Manage Project Items" by clicking (1)
Click (2) and add the group "nRF_Libraries" if it not already exists
Select "nRF_Libraries" and click (3) to add library_name.c file to the "nRF_Libraries" group

Now you should be able to use the library and call its various functions.

If you compile and get errors that files are missing or can not be found, you should add those files (.h and perhaps also .c files) into your project in the same way as described here.

Hi,

You need to add the include path, to do this for a .zip style architecture do the following:

Click Options for Project(1)
Select the C/C++ header(2)
Click ... (3)

Add the path to the header you want to include
Click OK

Hopefully this works for you, best regards,

Øyvind

You need to add the include paths for this service. With pack, click the "Manage Run-Time Environment" button:

and check off the ble_nus (nordic uart service) from nRF_BLE->BLE_Services->ble_nus

and remember to click "OK" at the bottom.
