Introduction The recently released nRF5 SDK for Bluetooth Mesh does not provide Keil project files for its example projects. Fortunately, it's relatively easy to set up your own project from scratch. This guide will show you how. While the list of ...

Here are two simple functions to use when you want to use timestamps for time measurement. uint32_t millis(void) { return(app_timer_cnt_get() / 32.768); } and for comperison of current with given timestamp with rollover correction (thanks to...

There are times that we needed to flash the nRF5x series on a PC where the development software were not installed. The problem could be worst when network access is limited. With a HEX file on hand, it is now possible to flash the nRF5x device usi...

Debugging interrupts in not an easy task. During the development of Jumper's Emulator, we gather few useful tips that we think can help you all when debugging the nRF52 interrupts. Hope it will help you all. https://medium.com/jumperiot/how-to-debug...

In my 2nd blog post in the series on Bluetooth 5, I go over one of the main features of Bluetooth 5: 2x speed. The advertised 2x speed of Bluetooth 5 is great! BUT, what does that even mean? Is it 2x "1 Mbps" = 2 Mbps? Is that even ach...
