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

    @mfalkvidd
    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 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?

                                    @mfalkvidd All I know is that if I put a library in the folder: C:\Users\David\Documents\Arduino\libraries
                                    it always gets detected and used. It also means you can completely uninstall/re-install the arduino IDE, and nothing gets lost. I'm not sure about other locations.

                                    Am I the only one doing it this way?

                                      @NeverDie for libraries, doing what you do should result in the same behavior as when using the Library Manager.
                                      But I'm not sure it works with boards (especially given that the Arduino IDE complains when you put boards in the libraries folder).

                                        I use the board manager to manage the boards. I believe it connects directly into github.

                                        Anyhow, I stripped out all the non-library stuff, and now Windows IDE works without complaining.

                                          Has anyone here yet figured out how to have more than one type of interrupt at a time wake-up the MCU from sleep? Based on the examples so far, it seems as though only one type at a time can be active. I'm sure there must be some way to do it. For instance, it would be desirable if the MCU could wake up not just from a timer event every, say, 5 minutes, to take a temperature reading, but also immediately if there is a leak detected. Right now it's just one or the other.
