    @NeverDie said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

    I think I have a better hypothesis as to what's going on in my situation: the ebyte module is getting hung-up trying to establish communication with the serial gateway. Looking at the output of the serial gateway, it looks as though it is receiving packets from the Ebyte module. However, looking at the Ebyte output, it thinks it is failing. So, the Ebyte never quite gets out of the "establish communication link" mode.

    This doesn't occur, though, if I use an nRF52 DK, instead of an Ebyte module.

    So, what might explain this is maybe the MISO pin on the Ebyte module isn't mapped right.

    @d00616 Would you please share the pin mappings and board type that you are using for your ebyte module? Since you are having success, I think that will fix the problem.

    Some further evidence in support of this hypothesis (from: https://github.com/mysensors/ArduinoHwNRF5😞

    Most components, like UART, SPI, Wire Bus, of the nRF5 series chips don't have a fixed pin mapping.



  • @mfalkvidd said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

    @Mike_Lemo look it up? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_portability#Effort_to_port_source_code

    Well apperantly this function uses a PWM pin at 50% duty but the frequency varies according to the functiong user parameter now I just know how to active a PWM pin at 50% duty but not how to acces the NRF52 registers to change the frequency of the PWM.

    I don't realy know how to access the registers you see at the product's PDF and the other process.

    Does the nRF52 mcu communicate with its radio using SPI, or some other bus? Or are all the radio registers simply memory mapped?

    Well, if the mcu uses SPI to communicate with the radio, then I simply need to define which SPI "pins" those are. Attached is the pin mapping file that I used to successfully map the pins for Rx and Tx.

    @NeverDie if I'm not wrong you managed to connect the Ebyte module to your MySensors network, no ?
    I did it anyway and it received data.
    Radio is internally connected inside the nrf52 chip so I don't see how a module could have a different mapping ?

    Yeah, that's what I thought originally, and it probably is true. I'm just grasping at straws to understand why the "board" type seems to be affecting the radio communications. I'm also completely new to the mysensors way of handling radio, so that's getting in my way. I'm might have to try something more barebones before I can make sense of this.

    I've confirmed it now. Even if I comment out all apparent radio message sends, the mere act of including:

    #include <MySensors.h>
    

    results in a loss of control by the sketch itself to something within MySensors that wants to establish communication between the node and the gateway. Not even sure how that is happening. In any case, it is just overcomplicating the debugging, and I really don't want that right now because it is effectively hanging what I'm trying to do. 😠

    For now, all I want is a simple send packet--like either the mirf or the twh20 libraries have for the nRF24L01--with no complicating factors. Is that too much to ask? I can probably find that somewhere within the library, but how do I turn-off this loop that it's in where it's repetitively trying to establish the initial communication with the serial gateway?

    @NeverDie said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

    That's good news. There must be something wrong with how I'm doing it. Which board type are you using for the Ebyte module?

    I have the equal module like yours.

    @NeverDie said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

    @d00616 Would you please share the pin mappings and board type that you are using for your ebyte module? Since you are having success, I think that will fix the problem.

    The module is connected to SWDIO/CLK, VCC and the GND near the radio. I don't remember which pin I used for Serial TX.

    @NeverDie said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

    The registers are memory mapped, the data transferred with "EasyDMA" into the memory.

    The SecurityPersonalizer defines '#define MY_CORE_ONLY' before including 'MySensors.h'. In theory, you can use the radio functions defined in 'hal/transport/MyTransportHAL.h' directly. I had no luck with this, but I haven't invested time to debug this.

    @Mike_Lemo said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

    I want to define the enforcer for the pins within their dedicated sketches without running around to the internal arduino files and change the pin assignment for each upload to each board.
    How'd I do that? I assume you'd have to do some thing like that in the upper side of the personal code.
    #define SDL...(Something else I don't know ) 11
    #define SDA...(Something else I don't know ) 12

    You have to install the "MySensors nRF5 Boards" package. In the examples section for this package, you can find two files (MyNRF5Board.h + MyNRF5Board.cpp). Add these files to your sketch and compile it using "MyNRF5Board nRF52822" as you board.

    @Mike_Lemo said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

    The registers are documented in the Infocenter and the bitfields.

    I don't realy know how to access the registers you see at the product's PDF and the other process.

    To access the registers, you have to add '#include <nrf.h>' to your code. Mostly the hardware is accesses by NRF_HWNAME->REGISTER

    Doing PWM is a little bit complex. The code is different for nRF51 and nRF52. Look into wiring_analog_nRF51.c and (wiring_analog_nRF51.c)[https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-nRF5/blob/c98a190eb34c0247eb8e0764a6367c7f9e51d2fc/cores/nRF5/wiring_analog_nRF52.c#L214]

    If you clone this code, for nRF52 you have to use another timer, like TIMER2, because you can't define the interrupt routine twice.

    So I'm trying to program the S4AT modules and I have the ugly message

    ** Programming Started **
    auto erase enabled

    I tried to use JLink programs but it says it cannot connect to the module, so I cannot unlock (ends with timeout message) and I cannot erase (fails with -1 return value)...
    Does that mean I have to go the long hard way with a bluepill as programmer and openocd ? Anyone has other ideas to unlock and erase the device ?

    Thank you it works ! ❤ ❤ ❤
    That's probably when trying to use this function that I managed to unlock&erase the EByte module "by mistake" 🙂

    The only problem now is the range seems to be very bad 😞
    Less than 10m with just a brick wall and it fails to completely send the presentation messages.
    EBytes nrf52832 module works well in the same conditions, same for their nrf24 modules.

    [Edit] in fact not that bad, it works ok when changing the orientation of the module. Could be due to the funky wiring but my bet is it on the tiny antenna design. My gateway is an old through hole nrf24 clone so range should not be a problem in an appartment with a PA/LNA gateway.

    I'm happy to report this also worked when, just now, I programmed a new Ebyte module. Like d00616 said earlier, it's a much faster way to do a mass erase. 🙂

    Unfortunately, and in contrast with the nRF52 DK, the new Ebyte module I just programmed is behaving the same as the Ebyte I've been experimenting with. No change.

    Follow the instructions for ArduinoBoards and ArduinoHwNRF5

    Do you know where can the arduino library folder be found with all the arduino functions?

    The arduino-nrf5 port only implements functionality documented in the official Arduino Reference but mostly not more functionality available for SAMD :-(. Additional functionality like BLE or using included hardware must come from external libraries like MySensors.

    A good way to implement the tone commands is to fork the arduino-nRF5 repository at github. Change what you need and create an pull request with reference to the Arduino reference. If you inform me about your PR I comment it to increase the chance for acceptance otherwise it's time to maintain an separate fork of this repository.

    At some point, I had to re-arrange the libraries though (don't remember which files or which ones) to get all this stuff working. Before that, it wasn't finding the files. Actually, I think this would be a good topic for discussion, to make sure we're all doing it the same way. If we're doing it differently, it might make cross-checking each others attempts more difficult. Also, maybe there's a better way than the brute-force way that I did it.

    If anyone has interest, I can post how my libraries are currently structured. If nothing else, it would be a starting point for discussion on what to do (or not to do).

    It hasn't been easy, I'll grant you that. I get the impression d00616 probably does most of his work in Linux, and so some of the disconnect with the Windows IDE probably stems from that. Once we get the basics ironed out, though, I expect things will go more smoothly. In fact, I think we're almost there. A lot of the work for sleeping, measuring source voltage, etc., has already been done, which is far better than starting from scratch. And there's even example code, which helps tremendously.


  • Hero Member

    Good news! Interestingly enough, the MockMySensors sketch seems to work fine when I load it onto the Ebyte. What a relief! So, I may try hijacking that sketch to convey voltage measurements instead of the BatteryPoweredSensor sketch that mysteriously hasn't been working on my Ebyte modules.

    The Nordic SDK is more complete than Arduino-nrf5 at the moment, but there is no compatibility with MySensors.

    The good news, with SDK 13 the 'Nordic Semiconductor ASA' License was changed. The old ASA was the reason for me to rewrite the complete ESB protocol. Now the license is much less restrictive. I think now the way is open to integrate SDK code into arduino-nrf5 or provide SDK based arduino-libraries.

    You mean way more complete every thing is accesable there and there is an example for everything and I didn't use my sensors anyways

    No. I mean if you want to use the Nordic MCU with BLE and you want to access the whole hardware without developing drivers, then the Nordic SDK is an option. For special requirements like tone() you have to develop your own routine for Arduino or SDK.

    If you want write code which is compatible with other Vendors or want use MySensors then the SDK isn't the best choice.

    The arduino-nrf5 targets to provide the Arduino language. I think this is mostly complete. MySensors brings additional support for enhanced pin output modes and the random number generator (no SoftDevice support here).

    Accessing the internal MCU hardware must be added via Arduino libraries. With the new SDK license I think it's possible to put parts of the SDK into libraries supporting Hardware which is not specified in the Arduino reference.

    If you want to develop BLE applications with portable code, there are open source implementations like http://mynewt.apache.org/ which are designed to be portable.

    Good news! The hwCPUVoltage() function measures the Vcc voltage on the Ebyte module in millivolts. I'm able to send that as a barometer reading using the mocksensors sketch, and it arrives all the way into Domoticz, where it is logged and graphed. So, obviously I need to streamline that a bit, but the proof of concept works. 🙂


  • Hero Member

    Quantization error on the hwCpuVoltage() function appears to about 14 millivolts, which is a nice little improvement over the atmega328p. Measurement accuracy appears to be well within those bounds.

    Next step is to measure voltage on an analog pin using an AnalogRead. Not sure if the reference voltage is Vcc (as it typically is with the atmega328p) or something else for those measurements.



  • Given new Arduino Primo contains a buzzer connected to nrf52, we might expect tone() function to be compatible with nrf52 very soon

    Strangely, if I do, say, analogRead(A4) on the nRF52832, all I get back is a 10-bit number, not a 12-bit number. i.e. the number never exceeds 1023. That can't be right. Should I be using a different function call to get the full 12 bits on the nRF52832?


  • Mod


  • Hero Member

    @mfalkvidd said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

    @NeverDie looks like you need to call analogReadResolution first https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-nRF5/blob/425e719af8d85b543def01e49a6ef4048525dc59/cores/nRF5/wiring_analog.h#L74

    Thanks! That did the trick. Calling analogReadResolution(12) once in Setup() routine, I now get back a 12-bit number (i.e. up to 4095) thereafter when I do an analogRead(...). 🙂


  • Hero Member

    So, just did the experiment, and here are the results. Supplying 3.3v to the Ebyte Module, a voltage of 3.0 volts on A4 yields an analogRead(A4) of 4095. Less voltage on A4 yields a lower number.

    So, generalizing, I suspect that the reference voltage for analogRead() is Vcc-0.3.

    So, you either know Vcc, because of a voltage regulator or something, or else you must call hwCpuVoltage() to get what it is. Then, subtract 0.3v from that, and that's the reference voltage which corresponds to an analogRead() return value of 4095.

    🙂


  • Hero Member

    I just did a quick and dirty measurement on the current consumption of the nRF52832 Ebyte module during sleep, and it measured 10 milliamps. I measured it using a uCurrent Gold. That's very high current for most battery powered applications. Can someone else here please measure it also and either confirm or refute?

    I invoked sleep with this from the mocksensors sketch:

    	wait(SLEEP_TIME); //sleep a bit
    

    Perhaps there's a way to invoke a deeper sleep than that where less current is drawn?



  • @NeverDie
    Try

    sleep(60000); // Sleeps for a minute in deep sleep
    

  • Hero Member

    @rmtucker said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

    sleep(60000); // Sleeps for a minute in deep sleep

    Thanks! That's a big improvement. I'm now reading 51uA. I did the measurements on the Ebyte nRF52832 module, powering it at 3.3v.

    However, to be frank, that's still rather high compared to, say, an atmega328p with a RFM69 radio, which can have a combined sleep current of less than 1uA.

    Is there anything more that can be done to lower the sleep current further?



  • @NeverDie

    Is that a bare board with nothing connected (Not even serial)?

    Theoretically it should be around 1.9uA

    Interestingly, I just now tried the same measurement with one of these nRF52832 modules instead of the Ebyte module:

  • Hero Member

    Looks as though the infor-link is using an A620N crystal:
    0_1501938448961_infor-link_foto1.jpg
    I tried to see if I could find a datasheet for it, in the hope of learning what its current consumption is (or, at least, should be). Unfortunately, though, I couldn't find a datasheet for an A620N.


  • Hero Member

    Maybe it doesn't matter, because in looking at the actual module I received, it appears to use a different XTAL anyway: A649N.

  • Hero Member

    Maybe from a current consumption standpoint, not using an external XTAL crystal, but rather relying on the nRF52832's internal resonator would draw less current? I know that's true for the atmega328p. If so, then that's a trade-off worth examining more carefully.



  • @NeverDie

    Sorry i have been a little distracted because my waveshare BLE400 and jlink just turned up.
    Took a little time to get it running but i loaded up the mockmysensors sketch with all the sensors un commented and pow all 30 odd sensors showed up in domoticz which made me chuckle.
    Anyway post your sketch for the consumption testing and i will put it in and see if it works on my board.
    The only problem is i can not unplug it from the Ble400 because i have no way of connecting wires to the core board because of the smaller pitch pins.

    You'll need a separate serial gateway running for it to communicate with, or else it will never get to the section where it sleeps.

    @rmtucker said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

    The only problem is i can not unplug it from the Ble400 because i have no way of connecting wires to the core board because of the smaller pitch pins.

    For the current measurement, just program it with the above sketch on your Waveshare, then unplug your module from the BLE400 board and power it using a GND dupont wire and a Vcc dupont wire connected through your uCurrent Gold, or whatever it is that you're using to measure current. I should think that would work, wouldn't it?

    alt text

    Or do you only have the main board without the smaller plug-in module?

    It actually looks like a nice setup.



  • @NeverDie

    When you unplug the little board it only has 1.27mm spaced pins and they are not standard dupont size so shy soldering to them which would mean i could not plug it back in to the BLE.
    Anyway i am only using a crappy multimeter and with it plugged in and running your sketch i am getting 140uA but i will find a way of unplugging it so hang fire.


  • Hardware Contributor

    @rmtucker you could try to just solder 2 tiny wires on top of the board for vcc and gnd pins so you don't mess with the connectors for plugin it back on the main board ?


  • Hero Member

    @Nca78
    Agreed. It sounds as though the bigger problem is going to be his crappy multimeter, if that's all he has. Maybe a good time for an upgrade?



  • @NeverDie
    Ok with my crappy multimeter i am getting 4-5uA with just Vcc and Ground connected.


  • Hero Member

    I'll try removing the 32.768Khz crystal from an infor-link module and then re-run the sketch that relies on an external interrupt to wake from sleep. Maybe that will get us closer to the theoretical minimum current of just the nRF52832 chip by itself.



  • @NeverDie
    Just a little thought on this and a bit of googling.
    Just the system on consumption is 1-2uA without the rtc that is needed for wakeup so i don,t think the figures we are getting are that far away from the spec sheet?

    Yeah, I guess I won't amputate the xtal just yet. It can run for quite a while at 6ua. 🙂

    @NeverDie said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

    So, generalizing, I suspect that the reference voltage for analogRead() is Vcc-0.3.

    The internal reference is 0.6V the nRF5 MCU's have an internal programmable divider. With Arduino this divider is programmed to 1/5. If you switch to the external reference the "gain" is 1/4.

    I measure with my CDEByte 11-15µA for sleep without interrupt waiting. With a RedBear BLE Nano 2 I have measured 15µA. Both compiled as BLE Nano 2. I have used the VC165 multimeter.

    I2c is not working properly either.

    Seems like there's more than one library named "Wire" that's floating around at the same time. I wonder if perhaps the compiler is finding the proper Wire library inside Arduino-nRF5? Or maybe it's linking with an unrelated Wire library? To answer that, you could try inserting a Serial.println() into the proper library and see if it fires off when you run your code.



  • @NeverDie
    Yes checked that and it is using the correct wire.h.

    This is strange: now when I do the timed sleep on the infor-link module, it shows a current drain of about 60ua, whereas yesterday it was around 6ua. Maybe I somehow damaged it by connecting a couple of the input pins (A2 and A4) to Vcc? I wouldn't think so, though, because the datasheet says it should be safe to Vcc + 0.3v.

    I have one unused infor-link module left. I'll try wiring it up, but without the input pins this time, and measure it. I'm wondering now whether the sleep current will measure out to be 60ua, or 6ua.

    The answer is.... neither. This time, with a fresh infor-link module, it measured at about 16ua.

    However, I'm guessing there's quite a lot of noise involved, because this time I noticed I could change the reading just by moving my hand closer or further away from the infor-link module. So, I may have to scope this to see what's going on.

    At least it would be something, rather than nothing. Wouldn't you rather be on nRF52 anyway? It has advantages. (I say that even though I do have some nRF51's on order, but only just because they're small and cheap).



  • @NeverDie
    yes but it would take 4-6weeks and i was impatient so thought i would start with what i could get.
    But it seems it does not work on either looking at some of the other issues on sandeeps github.

    Hmmmm... Maybe this explains why I didn't notice any MySensor's example demo code that used I2C.

    On the other hand, I wouldn't think the gap can be all that big if d00616 is able to use I2C for display purposes.

    Still, that by itself doesn't get you there.

    @NeverDie i have no problem with my aeos (nrf52) and i2c so far. only tested the onboard sensors.

    agree, in case, you can use a software i2c lib.

    On the 10F supercap, the infor-link module was losing about 0.025v per hour, and that included it reporting its voltage every 5 minutes. So, I've hooked it up to a mini solar panel now so that the supercap will charge during daytime, and with that it should run in perpetuity. 🙂

    I did another sleep current measurement, this time on a Ebyte module that I had mounted to one of my breakout boards. The sleep current measured between 8ua and 9ua. However, it would jump considerably higher depending on whether I was moving or otherwise close to it. I got the lower measurements by positioning myself about 6 feet away (further than that and it gets hard to read the multimeter that's connected to the uCurrent Gold). I've never seen this kind of behavior before in anything other than the nrf52832 boards. Very curious. They're acting almost like proximity detectors. I have no idea what to make of it, but I thought I'd report it in case anyone else here is doing measurements too.

    Also, I'm going to avoid exposing the IO pins to voltages that approach Vcc in magnitude. Despite what the datasheet says, they don't seem to handle it well.

    Does anybody know why the function tone() doesn't work for the nrf52?

    tone() and other things like NFC are implemented with the new Arduino Primo board. There is no MySensors support at the moment because the Primo comes with the SoftDevice which doesn't allow accessing the complete hardware without using the SoftDevice API, which is not implemented.

    What you using for pcb design?
    I would like to design something for the waveshare core board to plug into similar to what you just designed for the nrf52832 modules to adapt to 2.54mm pitch headers.

    Similar to what you did here but with two sockets on top for the waveshare board.
