Are there any bluetooth mesh example project using keil IDE and Nordic Boards PCA10040/56?

I tried this

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

but doesnt work!

  • Hi Renato, it doesn't really help by just saying that it doesn't work. Could you please be more specific? What is it that doesn't work? What error message are you getting? Are you using an nrf52832dk or an nrf52840 pdk? Which example do you want to run? Do you want to use the Mesh SDK v0.10.0 or the latest Mesh SDK v1.0.0?

    A very simple solution would be to use Segger Embedded Studio instead of Keil. The latest Mesh SDK has SES files that support both the pca10040 & pca10056 DKs. SES is free if you develop with the Nordic SDK. Here is a youtube playlist if you want to get started with SES. In my opinion, it is as easy to get started with SES as it is with Keil. But that choice is up to you. :)

  • Hi Bjorn, I build the project and did the download to the board and I tried to test usign Terminate and app, but notthing change. Do you know how I can to test this example?

    I am trying to adapt the multperipherals example to do it.

    At my scenario some peripherals are far from central and there are not communication between both. In my application I want to make communication between two (or more) peripherals and these peripherals that are far from central device, use others peripherals to send informations to central (Gateway)

    Resuming, I want the follow communication:

    Central >> Peripherals (Already exists) Peripheral >> central (already exists) Peripheral >> Peripheral (To do - broadcast)

    Can I to do it using this? devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ or using a adapted version from multperipherals example?

  • If you want to test the multipheral example, take a look at this link. Do you have one central device or many central devices? It seems the multiperipheral example is used to connect one peripheral to many central devices. What you are referring to seems a lot like a great application for a mesh network. I would take a look at the blog post you referred to (using mesh sdk v0.10.0) or try running the latest mesh sdk v1.0.0 using segger embedded studio (SES). If you are having trouble with transferring the mesh examples to Keil, my guess is it would take about the same amount of time to getting used to SES.
