Hi!

Just to make sure I understand your use-case: you want to keep the CLI-functionality in the application, but additionally you want UART communication without the CLI overhead information?

You can either enable a second UART instance to use for communication. Or you can enable CLI over RTT, which the CLI sample already supports, and then use the available UART instance for direct communication.

However, it sounds like you might just want to add new CLI commands, which you can do by modifying the CLI library.

I'm not that familiar with the nRF5 SDK CLI Library, but if you want assistance in adding new CLI commands, let me know and I will redirect you.

Hello,

Can you please share what if all methods are available? It would be great to know which different options are available for the different versions of the CLI.

Thanks.

Hello,

We used the example found in SDK 17.0.2 which is located in examples->peripheral->cli->pca10040. Do you need any other info?

Thanks.

Hi!

[quote user=""]I am just wondering if it is possible to use the CLI as normal but then also send messages out the UART without the extra CLI starting text. [/quote]

Yes, this is absolutely possible. If it's easy to implement depends on how it's configured now.

Could you point me to the CLI example you have based your application on?

Best regards,

Heidi
