Problem in connecting phone with thingy53

Hello everyone,

I am using Thingy53 device, For the first time when I switched on the device, The LED light blinked twice but since after that it is not blinking also, trying to connect my phone with the device by the device is not discoverable on Bluetooth.

It would be very kind if someone can please provide information about the same or please share the link if there is any demo video for the first time connecting a mobile with device.

Regards,

  • Hello,

    Did you try using nRF programmer app to update the firmware? If so were the app able to detect your device.

    Yes I have tried using that as well but when I am trying to install firmware from there it never detect the device(no name of device in the list).

    Can you elaborate bit more on the project and how the other devices are connected to the phone?

    Yes, sure:

    1. Charge the device with type C charger
    2. Power On the device and tried to update the firmware as mentioned in the below link

    https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/ug_thingy53_gs.html 

    1. Then tried to open the edge impulse app, to find the device and connect it.
    2. On other hand I have downloaded and istall the nRF programmer, Edge impulse and nRF connect app on my phone.
    3. As soon as I have downloaded the phone my phone itself connected to Nordic_LBS through bluetooth
    4. Then I opened the nRF connect app and tried to connect with Mhsl-gateway-39-zmg3la35
    5. After that I have tried using nRF programmer to update firmware or Edge Impulse but the app did not detect the device.

    Nordic_LBS? Do you have another Nordic device with you?

    Can you tell me which device is this? Because your device name will be Edge Impulse(Thingy53), if you haven't uploaded any other application other than edge impulse firmware.

  • Hello,

    Nordic_LBS? Do you have another Nordic device with you?

    No I have no other device, I have only one device. 

    Can you tell me which device is this? Because your device name will be Edge mpulse(Thingy53), if you haven't uploaded any other application other than edge impulse firmware.

     So, these are the list of the devices that are available when I open the nRF connect app.

  • Hello,

    Is this because you have updated the device with Peripheral LBS application. So default Edge impulse name(Thingy53) is not visible any more.
    I guess Nordic_LBS is your device(Thingy53).
    Go to your programmer app select Edge impulse option and install.In the select device option select Nordic_LBS. Then your device will be programmed with the default firmware

    nRF Programmer--> Edge Impulse-->Install-->Nordic_LBS(under select device)

    Kind Regards,

    Abhijith
