which nRF Connect app template for (wired) uart?

[Bret Foreman]

Which is the best nRF Connect application template to get the wired uart working (without hardware flow control)?

Hello,

You can check out the UART Driver sample or follow Lesson 5 from the nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals course. The full course can be found here if you are interested.

Kind Regards,

The link you posted does not appear to be valid for SDK version 17.1.0. Here's the path the instructions call out:

Here are the folders in the SDK:

Note that there is no "samples" folder.

Then I searched for the "echo_bot" file and it was not found:

So what version of the SDK has the echo_bot example?

I assumed you were using nRF Connect SDK. We recommend using nRF Connect SDK for new projects. nRF5 SDK will not support new features and is only under maintenance.

Are you starting a new project, or modifying an existing one?

Kind Regards,

Hello,

The example from nRF5 SDK 17.1.0 which shows the use of the UART driver is found in examples/peripheral/uart. Hope this can help you.
