Everything nRF52840 Compile Question

[mmarks3141]

Re: Everything nRF52840

User NeverDie posted some sample code for transmitting a 1 byte payload 2 2 mps once per second. When I try to bring this code example over, I get a compile error on the third line of the example:
Serial pc(USBTX, USBRX); // tx, rx

My guess is that Serial is a typedef, but so far I cannot find it. Is there a header file other than "mbed.h" that includes a typedef for "Serial"?
Thanks,

Hello @mmarks3141,

I am just learning about nRF52840. My IDE is Eclipse/Sloeber and Arduino NANO BLE 33. And I do not want to use the mbed-OS, because it destroys the timing of my self developed libraries running on any Arduino-Board.
Your question is about using a serial interface, which depends on the firmware of your board. If it is mbed-OS, please look to the documentation of mbed: https://os.mbed.com/handbook/Serial.
If it is not mbed-OS, look for the resources of Your boards firmware/libraries.
For me (Arduino), it would be the initialization with Serial.begin(bitrate) in setup() and using Serial.print() for the output somewhere in loop().
By the way, thanks to @NeverDie for the examples.
