Tell me if this has happened to you before. You open some file, one you haven't touched in a while. This might be because you need to use an API, a coworker of yours wrote. Maybe it's a library or package you need to learn. Sometimes (and let this no...

In this blog post, we will show you how to build a pager with a micro:bit v2 and nRF Connect SDK. Writing application in C using nRF Connect SDK gives you the highest level of control over the micro:bit v2 in terms of functionality and power consumption.

FYI: The video above shows a similar test as this blog post, just using two nRF52840 DKs and two nRF21540 DKs. The blog post uses one nRF52840 DK and two nRF21540 DKs. One of the reasons we did multiple tests was to verify the range results in diffe...

Introduction The Asset Tracker v2 is a highly configurable asset tracker application available in nRF Connect SDK, that supports, among many things, multiple cloud services and configuring the behavior at run-time via cloud services. This allows...

New revisions of nRF52805 (revision 2, build codes Bx0), nRF52810 (revision 3, build codes Ex0), nrf52811 (revision 2, build codes Bx0), nRF52820 (revision 3, build codes Dx0), nRF52833 (revision 2, build codes Bx0), nRF52832 (revision 3, build codes...

Introduction Machine Learning in the wireless edge-device space leverages the processing power of the local microprocessor to minimize the amount of data being transmitted. Since radio transmissions are high current events, this lowers the overall po...

Do you want to learn how to design advanced wearables with Nordic SoCs? The winning projects from the Advanced Wearables Contest on Hackster.io are available for your reference now. The world has encountered so many challenges to ...

Nordic and Nowi have partnered to develop an energy autonomous version of the Nordic Thingy:91, an easy-to-use prototyping platform for cellular IoT using LTE-M, NB-IoT and GPS. The energy autonomous Thingy:91 plug-in board enables the user to develo...

This article explains the state of the successful nRF5 SDK and why we are moving over to the scalable and future-proof nRF Connect SDK.

In the last few years, the field of IoT and especially smart home applications has seen a near exponential growth in both customizable protocols and out-of-the-box applications which everyone and their mother have in their homes. These applications a...

The nRF Connect for Visual Studio Code (VS Code) lets you develop, build, and debug applications based on the nRF Connect SDK using the VS Code Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

Objectives The objective of this blog is to guide the user in the optimization of power on the nRF5340 SoC.  The goal is to understand what is needed from a software, hardware, and system level design to minimize the power in your device. This b...

The Bluetooth Core Specifications v5.3, released mid-July 2021, is the latest version of Bluetooth, the number one short-range wireless protocol. This new version introduces several features enhancements and a new feature. Enhancements includes the P...

MIDI is a well-known protocol used by musical instruments to communicate. A typical modern application is connecting a musical keyboard to a DAW, letting you record directly into software and edit your notes. MIDI devices do not transmit sound, but r...

During the development of nRF5340 - a chip that may power your next headphones or gaming mouse - an important question came up: can it run the classic game Doom? A fully functional version of the game, with little to no compromises? To run smoothly, ...

When working with Real-Time Operating systems like zephyr it is necessary to know how to differentiate between the threads while debugging. This Blog shows you how to accomplish that.

One of the things you asked us for after launching the new Power Profiler Kit II (PPK2) was extending the maximum logging time, some of you wanted hours or even days of continuous logging. We went to work and have now released an update for the nRF C...

After an nRF5340 executes a power-on, brown-out, watchdog timer, or pin reset it is not automatically accessible to debug probes. This is true even if the nRF5340's memory is completely blank --i.e. no settings have been written to the device to disa...

This blog post provides step-by-step instruction on running Door Lock example from the CHIP repository. It demonstrates how with help of the mobile phone, commission accessory to the network using Bluetooth LE, and remotely control a door lock device...

Hello everyone, 5 years ago, FruityMesh was open sourced as the first connection-based Bluetooth Low Energy mesh network based on the nRF52 series. Now, after constant development at our Mway headquarter in Stuttgart, we are proud to announce F...

The nRF9160 is an exciting addition to Nordic's lineup of processors and radios. Ever since the announcement of a Nordic cellular product, I was chomping at the bit to dive in. And boy, did I get that opportunity! In this post, I'll break down some o...

Introduction The pairing-based cryptography (PBC) differs considerably from the prior cryptosystems. It covers many novel cryptographic applications that are hard, if not impossible to construct with other known cryptographic primitives. The PBC...

Introduction Machine learning(ML) is a still growing field, and with the TensorFlow Lite port, there is now support for machine learning on microcontrollers. TensorFlow is an end-to-end ML-platform owned by Google. We want to use TensorFlow Lite to i...

For the longest time we’ve had this idea, of turning one of our most-used Swift Collection Types into a simple one-instruction comparison call, down at the assembly level, to check whether an element belongs to or not in a Set-like data structu...

Overview In this blog, you will measure the PSM floor current for the rev. 2 version of the nRF9160 SiP. Requirements Hardware You will need: an nRF9160-DK (the one used here was v1.0.0). Be sure that your version uses rev2 of the nRF9160 SiP (...
