nrf Connect SDK Fundamentals Lesson 5 Excercise 1 doesn't work with thingy:53 and nRF5340-DK

[SaSu]

Hello

I worked this example with nRF52840-DK kit it works very well. But, when i use thingy:53 with nRF5340-DK, I am not getting any ouput in puTTY screen. Even any example is not working with these 2 boards as i am using nRF52840-DK since start of the nRF connect SDK Fundamentals course it works evrything fine. But with thingy:53 with nRF5340-DK even i cannot see the simple hello world output. But the LED still blinks.

What would be the problem?

Also, please take a look at the Developing for THingy:53 and Getting started with Thingy:53

Hello,

Thanks for the reply,

So, I used the same program which is in Lesson-5(Exercise-1) solution for thingy too. Actually they did not mention anything in that lesson that if i use thingy i should follow different rules. Do I have to do any extra apart from the things mentioned in that exercise?

Hi,

I guess you are talking about the Exercise in DevAcademy. Have you verified the following mentioned at the end?

Hello,

Yeah, I have seen that, basically that is led lights how it shows, eg: for nf52840-DK the led lights is red which doesn't change when we press number in PuTTY screen and for thingy it changes colors as far as i unerstood. Can you try that example with thingy:53 and nRF5340-DK and tell me its working well for you and shows some ouput in PuTTY screen.?

I am trying to reproduce it. Are you able to flash it onto the Thingy? And do you get the LED to turn on after flashing? Or does it blink?

Hi

Sorry for late response. I can see the white light on thingy but couldn't see any output on PuTTY.

Edit: Same for Lesson-3(Exercise-1), Lesson-6(Exercise-2) too. Even i used Programmer in nRF Software to flash the program still same thing couldn't see output in PuTTY, I think no example programs in fundamentals works, needed help as soon as possible please.

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed response as I was on sick leave for the week. 

Could you tell me your nRF Connect SDK version? What is your Programmer version? Have you tried with different boards?

Also, are you trying on a Windows?

Hello

nRF connect for desktop version is v3.12.0, programmer version is v3.0.4 and its working with nRF52840-DK kit but not with nRF5340-DK with thingy-53, and yes i am trying in windows with vs code and PuTTY.

Hi,

I am also having trouble with the Exercise in Fundamentals. The Thingy is acting strange. I will check with a few more examples that you mentioned. I was able to run other default Thingy samples like Edge Impulse, Homekit weather stations etc. Could you try those too just to make sure that your Thingy is fine? Just flash some default Thingy fw and see if it works.
