Bluetooth project for nRF9160 dk

[garrettb]

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?

Thanks for the feedback. This happens from time to time. If you encounter this often, please let us know.

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

Kind regards,
