Using ESB and Serial together on nRF52

Steve H

Hi all,

I am using a nRF52-DK board to receive data from the USB port using Serial, and transmitting it using ESB to a second board. If I use either Serial or ESB individually, it works fine. I have a problem when using both together. (I have set #define APP_TIMER_CONFIG_SWI_NUMBER 1)

If I do this procedure:

  • Receive a Serial packet
  • Send a "transmit start" message back through Serial
  • transmit the packet through ESB
  • Send a "transmit done" message back through Serial

then the returned Serial data is incomplete / corrupted and it won't accept any more serial data.

I am sure that it is possible to use Serial and ESB together, does the program need any special configuration to do so?

    It seems that the UART example where there is an infinite while-loop isn't a good technique to use with ESB. Catching new Serial data in the "error" handler (which should perhaps be renamed in the example) seems to prevent the lockup.
