Receiving Data from UART over Mesh Network

[rezaei]

Hi everyone,

I implemented nrf5_SDK_17.0.2 ble_app_uart example, so I connected an external device to my nRF52840 DK and I received the data by my android phone.

Now I want to do it through Mesh Network. What should I do?

Thanks.

Hi,

I am afraid we do not have any ready-made examples for that, so you need to implement a mesh model yourself.

In nRF Connect SDK we have a Bluetooth: Mesh chat sample which uses a custom mesh model for communicating text.

In nRF5 SDK we have the SDK UART coexistence example, which shows how to connect transmissions over Nordic UART Service (NUS) to mesh. However it does not send data received over NUS directly onto the mesh network. Rather it takes commands over NUS in order to generate predetermined messsages. This means you need to make models for communicating byte strings (as received over UART) yourself. See Creating new models for how to implement your own models.
