    @rmtucker

    Please can someone update the instructions below to mention installing the development version

    Preparing Arduino
    Arduino doesn't support the nRF5 platform in a standard setup. You have to add the arduino-nRF5 platform via Arduino's Board Manager like described in https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-nRF5/#installing

      If there are multiple libraries with the same name (as there seem to be), then how does the compiler know which one to pick? Is it just the first one whose name matches in whatever pathway it follows? Since it obviously compiled even though rmtucker was missing the proper libraries... this just sounds like a heartache waiting to happen unless everything is setup just-so. rmtucker's case seems to prove there won't be any warnings if it picks the wrong one.

        looking at d00616 howto it's explained to use Mysensors development branch (or maybe he added it today :) ). but that makes sense as this port is newer than master branch.

        @NeverDie
        it uses the core libraries depending on the board used in Arduino.

          @scalz: I think @rmtucker was discussing using the development version of the sandeepmistry nrf5 Arduino library, it was not related to the MySensors library.

            Sorry i should have made it more understandable.
            When you follow the instructions below as per sandeeps site it does not install the latest NR5 libraries that you see on github.

            Installing
            
            Board Manager
            
            Download and install the Arduino IDE (At least v1.6.12)
            Start the Arduino IDE
            Go into Preferences
            Add https://sandeepmistry.github.io/arduino-nRF5/package_nRF5_boards_index.json as an "Additional Board Manager URL"
            Open the Boards Manager from the Tools -> Board menu and install "Nordic Semiconductor nRF5 Boards"
            Select your nRF5 board from the Tools -> Board menu
            

            Following this you must install the development version aswell which is what you see on github by doing this.

            From git (for core development)
            
            Follow steps from Board Manager section above
            cd <SKETCHBOOK>, where <SKETCHBOOK> is your Arduino Sketch folder:
            OS X: ~/Documents/Arduino
            Linux: ~/Arduino
            Windows: ~/Documents/Arduino
            Create a folder named hardware, if it does not exist, and change directories to it
            Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-nRF5.git sandeepmistry/nRF5
            Restart the Arduino IDE
            

            Otherwise you run into all kinds of problems using the old library.

              I have added a note at the end of the installation documentation. To make things easier, I have opened an issue to update the Arduino-nRF5 release.

                  So should i be able to delete the hardware folder that the development version created from github and just update from boards manager?.

                    If this don't work, remove all folder created by hardware and boards manager, close Arduino IDE and reinstall it via Boards Manager.

                      Hi, I don't us nrf52 yet but as i'm a platformio supporter, There is a new release for nrf52 platform with initial arduino framework support ! Good news, i think I will test nrf52 in few weeks.
                      https://github.com/platformio/platform-nordicnrf52/releases/tag/v1.2.0

                        To help clarify for others who are reading this: the Arduino IDE board manager let me upgrade to 0.4.0 from 0.3.0 by just clicking on the board entry "Nordic Semiconductor NRF5 Boards by Sandeep Mistry", selecting the 0.4.0 version, and then clicking Install.

                          1. I have updated the radio driver with fixes for some hardware errata.
                          2. I have updated the https://github.com/mysensors/ArduinoHwNRF5 with an enhanced definition format. File name and contents are changed! The board description is compatible with the NRF5 variant provided by Arduino, but it's not possible to use this variant at the moment.

                            Where do we find the update? i.e. is it baked into the regular MySensors development code thread, or is it elsewhere?

                                  I refreshed all the libraries. I'm able to compile and upload my sketches, but now it complains a lot about "invalid libraries."

                                  At the moment, I cannot reproduce this with Linux and Arduino 1.8.2. I try to find out what's wrong.

                                    Can you try to remove the .ci and .mystools folders?

                                        I don't know the correct path on an Windows system. On my system the Sketches are in the ~/Arduino folder in my home directory (~). The arduino-nrf5 is in ~/.arduino15/packages/sandeepmistry/hardware/nRF5/0.4.0 and the ArduinoHwNRF5 files are in ~/.arduino15/packages/MySensors/hardware/nRF5/0.2.1

                                          on my Windows machine, all boards are located in c:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages
                                          Strange that they've been installed to C:\Users\David\Documents\Arduino\libraries\ on your machine.

                                          Maybe just delete the folders and re-install using the board manager?
