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.

hwCPUVoltage()
I'm finally installing Visual Micro, because I hope it will help me quickly find where all these functions are defined. With all these new layers, the Arduino IDE is just no longer cutting it.

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.

VS Code with the Arduino Extension is your friend.
I'll try that. Maybe it will be a little less of a learning curve than Visual Micro yet still do what I need.

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.

@d00616 said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:
For this, you can use the implemented hwCPUVoltage() function.
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. So, probably I just need to do a pin mapping so that it reads the voltage on the proper pin. But which pin/mapping would it be? I thought that Vcc wouldn't really be mappable to anything but Vcc. I guess whichever analog pin (if that's what it is?) is connected to Vcc on the nRF52 DK is the pin I need to find and re-map to its equivalent pin on the Ebyte module. Hmmm.... I'll have to look into which one that would be.

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

@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?
@Mike_Lemo said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:
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.

@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 ;)

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.

@Nca78
Is there even a way to program the nRF51822 version? I'd have to check, but I don't recall the two SWD pins being on its pinout.@NeverDie said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:
