FANSTEL BT840XE with nRF52 DK eval kit.

[surya3090]

Hello, 

I am trying to evaluate FANSTEL module BT840XE (which is using the nordic nRF52840 SoC). I am trying to flash the firmware with nRF52 DK eval board as mentioned by Fanstel's website. 

However I had the following questions: 

1. In Nordic's website the nRF 52 DK can be used for SoC's nrF52832 and nRF52810. Can the nRF52 DK eval board be used for BT840XE which utilizes nRF52840 SoC? Your website does not say it can but can you please confirm on this please? Would you recommend me using nRF52840 eval board kit instead? 

2. Can you please share example of nRF52840 Bluetooth range measurement example code? Can you also provide an example on how to calculate the RSSI value in this case? 

Looking forward to your response. 

Regards

Surya

HI Surya,

Sorry for the delay.. The codes that work for the nrf52840DK should work for any of the boards that uses the nrf52840 chip.. Just make sure that the right gpio's are used with repsect to your hardware.. There might be issue that arises with pin mapping, since the the pins assigned in the sample code might already be used for something else in the custom hardware.
