Actually, something different may be going on. Here's the function definition:

One, perhaps likely, theory would be that it doesn't recognize the MCU, which would explain why it returns the value of zero. Well, to debug that, I added the Serial.println(...) statements into the library code (see above) in an attempt to see which of the if-else branches is being taken, but none of the Serial.println(...)'s were printed! Here's a sample of the output from the Ebyte Module:

I'm not quite sure how to interpret that, but pretty clearly it doesn't contain the println's that I was expecting.

Any theories as to what's going on?

NeverDie

Bracketing that and setting it aside, I do now notice this line in the BatteryPoweredSensor demo sketch:

int BATTERY_SENSE_PIN = A0;  // select the input pin for the battery sense point

So, if I map that A0 in the sketch to the A0 of the Ebyte Module, then maybe (hopefully) the voltage measurement will work on the Ebyte Module. I'll give it a try.

NeverDie

Unfortunately, after I add:

#include <mySensors.h>

the locus of control goes somewhere else (I guess the gateway or something?). Anyhow, it makes this very hard to debug.

For instance, the pin of interest is PIN_AIN0. I can't find where it's defined, and I can't print out its value either, because of this locus of control issue.

Anyhow, I think I may wait for others to get up and running with their modules, and start facing the same issues. Maybe then we can help each other figure this stuff out.

@NeverDie I don't know why the println() doesn't work. There is an "DEBUG_OUTPUT(x, ##VA_ARGS)" macro, you can use when debug is enabled.

NRF_ADC is the nRF51 ADC and NRF_SAADC is the ADC of the nRF52. They are defined when "nrf.h" is included.

What board type have use used for your tests?

The nRF52832 Ebyte Module.

@NeverDie VS Code with the Arduino Extension is your friend.

I just re-read your question and realized you were asking something else than the question that I answered above.

Answer: nRF52 DK is the board type, because I wired directly to P0.06 as its Tx pin on the Ebyte nRF52832 Module.

I'll try that. Maybe it will be a little less of a learning curve than Visual Micro yet still do what I need.

NeverDie

I just now did a brute force hack of the MySensors BatteryPoweredSensor sketch, where I copied and renamed the hwCPUVoltage function from the library and then called it from within a tight loop so that I never lose the locus of control. It worked!

Besides that it can now do println()'s, the other good news is that it looks like I won't need to change the pin assignment.

Too bad the demo sketch only transmits one byte of voltage information, rather than two bytes.

@NeverDie said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

I tried this function call on an nRF52 DK, and it seems to work. I then tried it on an Ebyte module, treated as an nRF52 DK "board", and it reported zero voltage.

I have tried the hwCPUVoltage() function with an Ebyte and an RedBear module. Both modules are reporting the voltage.

Received a new module. Here's a size comparison with the Ebyte Module:

@NeverDie Dam you why would you make it so wide? can it fit on a single bread board?

Also how did you get those so fast?

Dam you why would you make it so wide?

In 20/20 hindsight, you're right. At the time I designed it I had huge concerns that the range on the nRF52832 might be awful, because the Adafruit nRF52832 feather that I tested had poor range. So, I gave it a very large ground plane to see if maybe that cured the problem. Only later did I receive the Ebyte module, which turned out to have good range even by itself.

can it fit on a single bread board?

Sorry, you'll need two.

Also how did you get those so fast?

OSH PARK averages around two weeks for me. That's the main reason why I buy from them.

Where did you get that small nrf52832 module?

@NeverDie I guess you don't need to make a breakout board for those, your spare NModules will do if you use the "PA/LNA" radio footprint ;)

@Nca78
Thanks! Good to know.

Just realized it has 2 extra I/O on the side, and the SWD are only pads on top, which makes 8 I/O available, it's much more interesting than the NRF51822 version.

nRF5 action!
