Beginning ANT with NRF51422 Dev Kit

[nirmal@nordic]

Hi,

I want to understand ANT and want to begin development with ANT once I figured out how it works. After reading posts on this forum I found out that not all Softdevice or SDK version`s support ANTs.

I have NRF51422 Dev kits with me, which I used for Developing Beacons.

Please, tell me the NRF SDK version , softdevice version and example to start with on NRF51422 to understand ANT.

Thank you...

I could not find any example for PCA10028 in current SDK-> example -> ant Can I use other examples with PCA10028 ???

Hi,

The latest SDK and Softdevice combination that support ANT on nRF51422 is nRF51 SDK v10.0.0 and S210 Softdevice. You can download the nRF51 SDK v10.0.0 here, which include the softdevice and examples. You will find ANT examples for PCA10028 board in example/ant/.

Best regards,

Jørgen

Thanks Jorgen,

I followed what you say...

Also to test the Transmitted ANT Data, I programmed one of the board with ant/broadcast_Rx program as said in infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp -> software Development kit -> Example -> ant Example -> Broadcast -> Testing

But I am not receiving anything on the board. It is not flashing any LED`s on the received board neither hitting breakpoint on EVENT_RX case in the ant_evt_dispatch function.

What could be the possible reason for this ???? Is there anything I need to configure ???

Did you flash one board with the broadcast_tx example and one with the broadcast_rx example for testing? Or did you test with AntWare? Did you flash the S210 softdevice to the board before flashing the application?
