nRF Blinky mobile application code

[Mich]

In order to teach a class of students using nRF developer boards I'd like to use the nRF Blinky application running on Android, iOS, or whatever mobile platform. The problem is that we don't have the source code for the nRF51-DK, which we could reverse engineer but is proving to be tricky.

I keep reading about 'turn on LED 1 on the nRF DK and to recieve the Button 1 press event from a nRF DK' as if a freshly shipped board has the required logic built in. Our boards have mbed firmware and other programs running which we will replace with the one in question (nRF Blinky) once we can get the source code and flash.

Where is the source code for the nRF51-DK to accompany the mobile application, please?

At the top of this page.

Resources->Software Development Kit->nRF SDK->nRFSDK11->Examples->Experimental:BLE Blinky Application

That describes the application and how to run it, the code is in the SDK under a similarly named folder and there should even be a precompiled binary.

Thank you, I found it. Some good online places that document the application are:

infocenter.nordicsemi.com/.../group__ble__sdk__srv__lbs.html infocenter.nordicsemi.com/.../group__ble__sdk__srv__lbs__c.html infocenter.nordicsemi.com/.../ble_sdk_app_blinky.html

Since I'll be teaching this on ARM mbed, I'll now have to port the code over. Thanks again.

By the way a ARM mbed equivalent GATT service now exists, using the same UUIDs so that nRF Connect and nRF Blinky clients work as they would with the nRF SDK example server code. The project is online in ARM's source code repository.
