Bluetooth project for nRF9160 dk

Hi

I have a nRF9160DK board and am looking for sample Bluetooth project to try.

The project does not have to be complicated - ideally I would like to be able to scan/discover the device using a standard app on my phone, and then be able to send and receive simple text instructions.

In VSCode, I tried to create a new project from one of the Bluetooth samples, and then to build the project.

However I have yet to find any of the Bluetooth sample projects that will compile successfully.

Projects tried so far: st_ble_sensor and bluetooth peripheral

Bluetooth: ST BLE Sensor Demo (https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/1.9.1/zephyr/samples/bluetooth/st_ble_sensor/README.html)

Bluetooth: Peripheral (https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/1.9.1/zephyr/samples/bluetooth/peripheral/README.html)

Can anyone point me to a suitable sample project?

Thanks

Garrett

  • Hello Garrett.

    The nRF9160DK is not designed to demonstrate Bluetooth, and there is therefor very few Bluetooth samples that support the nRF9160 DK. All supported samples have a list of supported boards:

    The following samples are available:

    nrf\samples\bluetooth\hci_lpuart

    nrf\samples\nrf9160\lte_ble_gateway

    Please read and understand the documentation before starting on any of these.

    Make sure that you have read the Working with nRF91 series.

    Kind regards,
    Øyvind

  • Thanks Oyvind

    I also have an nRF52 DK board - so perhaps there are more Bluetooth sample applications for this instead?

    Yes, the nRF52 DK is better suited for Bluetooth samples. 

    Kind regards,
