Please post questions on this on devzone as the comments can be missed. @esb, take a look at this pull request that should fix this issue https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/nrf8001-ble-uart-spark-io/pull/4

@Himansu Donga You should read the documentation which is located in the github repo. Located at github.com/.../README.adoc github.com/.../how_it_works.adoc github.com/.../usage.adoc

The network size is limited by the 16 bits used to address the network. The propogation is typically about 100ms per hop. (where 100ms is the advertising interval)

Hi,

I want to run this example in nRF51-DK- PCA100028 board.

I have migrating code in SDK9 and device advertisement working fine.

How to know mesh network created ?
How many node supported in network ?
what is max latency time?

I am not using web server. Without webserver how to know this node is not connected in network.

Regards, Himansu

Hi there, I have been able to successfully run this example using the rbc_gatt_BOARD_PCA10031.hex and the rbc_gatt_serial_BOARD_PCA10028.hex files for the SDK 8.1. However, when I try to use the nRF51822 xxAA serial and the nRF51822 xxAA hex files taken from the project, I run into issues. I can load both files onto the DK and the dongle, respectively, but once they are on the hardware, I cannot control the Particle board. Is there an extra step I should be taking to do this, or am I wrong in assuming that these files can be used for the example.

When do you intend to release the code to the spark.io web IDE so this can be used directly from the web IDE ?

Hi, sorry for the delay. I am integrating a few changes to the driver/ interface files and then I'll push it to the web IDE. If I don't finish it today, it will be on thursday.

Edit: Now the code is in the Spark repository. We added it to the nrf8001-ble-uart-spark-io library. When you browse this library you'll find two .ino files. This example is ble-mesh-cloud.ino. You won't need to copy the files rbc_mesh_interface.cpp/.h manually into your project since I included them into the drivers.

Check the change in the header of rbc_mesh_init and rbc_mesh_evnt_get. ble-mesh-cloud.ino displays the usage.
