Changing GAP_DEVICE_NAME with DIP swich

[its-th]

I would like to change the GAP_DEVICE_NAME defined in nrf_mesh_config_app.h by DIP switch.
like "nRF5x Mesh Light 1" or "nRF5x Mesh Light 2"

I have modified the light_switch in SDK for mesh v4.2.0, and I have already read the DIP switch and created the node_number in the following code in main(void).

int sw_1 = (nrf_gpio_pin_read(DIPSW_0) == 0)*1;
int sw_2 = (nrf_gpio_pin_read(DIPSW_1) == 0)*2;
int node_number = 1 + sw_1 + sw_2;

I would appreciate it if you could tell me where and what code would be best to write.

I am using
nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v4.2.0_src
nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2

Thank you.

Hi,

Do you want to change the device name dynamically? Could you give more details about what you are trying to do?

Hi, Mttrinh

There is no need to change it dynamically.
1. I would like to use DIP switch to determine the value of node_number before writing firmware,

2. GAP_DEVICE_NAME will be newly updated when the code is updated by Segger embeded studio.

Sorry if I haven't explained it well enough.

Thank you

Hi,

You won't be able to use DIP switch control what happens at compile-time, this is not something you can do in Segger Embedded Studio. To do this you will have to change the name dynaically at startup.
