[quote user="witc"]understand, problem is that this main loop works only when I add k_sleep or LOG(..) at the end, when I comment it, so nothing in the main loop is working - only once. [/quote]

Have you attempted to debug? If you step in the code, what do you see?

[quote user="witc"]BTW is there any fast way how to disable all logging in my project? LOG_DBG, LOG_ERR, LOG_INF?[/quote]

You can disable logging using this in your prj.conf:

CONFIG_LOG=n
CONFIG_SERIAL=n

[quote user="witc"]When I edit CONFIG_ESB=y to CONFIG_ESB=n in prj.conf, so erros during building appears.[/quote]

That should normally not be a problem, but if your application use some ESB functionality, it would be different and you will get expected build errors (I have only seen your main loop so I do not know what else is there).

Hi,

understand, problem is that this main loop works only when I add k_sleep or LOG(..) at the end, when I comment it, so nothing in the main loop is working - only once.

I am just a novice in Nordic world, need more time to get oriented. BTW is there any fast way how to disable all logging in my project? LOG_DBG, LOG_ERR, LOG_INF?

When I edit CONFIG_ESB=y to CONFIG_ESB=n in prj.conf, so erros during building appears.

Thank you.

Hi,

The snippet you have here is just an eternal loop that calls some functions, and skips parts of it depending on the value of the two variables startTx and ready. There is no task related functionality here (except for the commented out call to k_sleep()), so this task and this main loop will run at all times. Could it be that you just don't set ready to true somewhere?
