Connect BMS to nrf9160DK through Bluetooth

[Sachin Rawat]

Hi,

I am working on the project of BMS(Battery Management system) sending data to nordic board nrf9160DK through UART and then board will send that data to the Azure cloud which is successfully working fine.

Now I want to change the way it works.

I need to connect 1,2 or maybe more BMS to the 9160 DK board and 52840 DK board (which is already present in the nrf9160DK) over Bluetooth, for that I need a sample code that I can take as an initial sample code for the project.

 Please Guide me ASAP.

I am working on ncs version 1.9.1

MFW version :- mfw_nrf9160_1.3.1

Hello,

For BLE FW running on the nRF91, I suggest that you look into the NCS\nrf\samples\nrf9160\lte_ble_gateway. This sample shows how to control the nRF52 from the nRF91, to use it as a BLE slave.

Further, if you need more assistance, I suggest you try to split up your questions into either BLE or LTE. This is because our staff usually works with either BLE or LTE, so you will get faster replies if you have questions only concerning BLE or only LTE. 

To ease the development, I may even suggest that you create your application on an nRF52840 DK first, as a standalone BLE application, and then you port it over to run from the nRF91 using the nRF52 as a BLE slave.

Regarding the Bluetooth application, I suggest you look into the NCS\nrf\samples\bluetooth\peripheral_uart and central_uart. I don't understand what is going to be transferred over UART and what is going to be transferred over BLE, but either way this sample set (central and/or peripheral) may be a good starting point.

Best regards,

Edvin
