In pc-ble-driver: which file you need to edit to add some custom logic

[embo san]

I have successfully manged to achieve serial communication between my PC (Windows) and nRF52 board by using the pc-ble-library and the pc-ble-library-js .

I can run without problems, npm test or node examples/heart_rate_monitor.js.

Let's say I want to now achieve following thing, an example, when I press one of the buttons on the board, the node.js app would log something like this: "you pressed the button 1"

which file I need to edit, that is where I need to write the code for that, and are there some tutorials/examples/suggestions on how to do it

to be more precise, I'm confused which file I need to edit for handling the logic for the board, and then how to build it, and flash it again etc

thanks

First, You need to modify serialization firmware, so the nRF5x would forward that kind of events. Second, you should modify communication protoocl of the driver, so there is a place for "your" messages (events?), that would not interfere with the rest of the protocol. Last, you have to modify driver on the pc side, so it will receive and interpret that kind of events. I cannot help you which files are responsible of those parts - You have to analyze structure of the firmware by yourself i think. Or maybe someone from Nordic will help you.

Thanks for your time and the info, hopefully someone from Nordic would also provide more information

I agree with Wojtek. We unfortunately a little bit busy at this moment with reduced staff so we couldn't help you further but what Wojtek said is basically what you have to do.

It is not that hard - colleague of mine did similar funcionality in some reasonable time.
