Implementing nrf51 timer example with mbed

[Johnny1010]

Hi everyone,

I am using the PCA10001 eval board and I have been able to get things up and running using the mbed platform but now I am implementing a timer based interrupt for that I was using a ticker. But detaching and reattaching the ticker results in the ticker not working properly. My time for calling the interrupt is 1ms.

Facing issues with the ticker I want to use the nrf51 timer1 or 2. I ran the example code here github.com/.../main.c

It compiles with no errors but nothing happens. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong.

Plus I thought that may be there were issues because of compiling with mbed so I tried using keil 5 but since the project is in keil uvision 4 format it doesn't build. Any ideas on how to get that working.

Hi,

The instructions for compiling the GitHub example can be found here. You need to download the SDK, found on this page.

Keil uVision 4 can be downloaded here.

You are looking at a very old example, and the board you are using is also old. I would recommend you buying a nRF51 DK (or better, nRF52 DK) for doing your development. This have better support, and the SDK have improved much from v6.1.0 to the latest v14.0.0.

Best regards,

Jørgen
