Why is the function "gpiote_init()" conflicting with the bluetooth code?

[B]

Hello, I tried to add the code of the bluetooth tutorial called "Bluetooth low energy Characteristics, a beginner's tutorial", with a code that measures the delay of two forms of waves, but when debuging them together there is a function:

gpiote_init();

which is conflicting with the bluetooth transmission. (4 LEDs are on)

When I comment this function the bluetooth works normally. Why this happens? Do you help me find out the mistake?

The main.c is:

main.c

Please check that your configuration does not conflict with any restricted or blocked peripherals controlled by the softdevice. TIMER0 that I used in the delay example cannot be used when the softdevice is enabled. GPIOTE should be available, but you need to provide more details on the issue than that it is "conflicting with the bluetooth transmission".

Okay, I've changed for TIMER1 and it's not conflicting with timer_init() anymore. It is still conflicting with gpiote_init() though... By "conflicting with the bluetooth transmission" I mean that ble does not work nor the delays are sent to the log. Also, the 4 LEDs are turned on. However, when I comment gpiote_init(), ble works and sends data and the LEDs are turned off with one LED blinking to indicate ble working! What shoud I change in gpiote_init() or in the bluetooth part of the code to make both work?

Are you using SDK 11? The LEDs most likely indicate that an error occurred and that the application ended up in the error handler. You should try debugging using this method, to see which function call is returning an error code.

Thank you so much for your advice! I managed to find the error debugging and it is working!
