I couldn't find that exact "MySensors nRF5 Boards" library you were talking about also what is the purpose of this library anyways?
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.

@Nca78 said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:
I will test tomorrow with the Ebyte module I have soldered, and the reset pin too.
That would be great!
Please try the BatteryPoweredSensor sketch when you do. I'm very curious if you will have the same or different result as what I'm getting.

@NeverDie When choosing "MyNRF5Board nrf52832"?
-
-
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).

Dunno that whole arduino BRF52832 programming thing seems too complicated just started to learn how to use the nordic SDK with eclipse until a proper solution is found.

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.
-
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.

I can't change the way of Windows driver handling, but when there are Windows specific issues then they bust be fixed.

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

@Mike_Lemo said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

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.
-
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?
-
@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(...).
-
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.
-
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 bitPerhaps there's a way to invoke a deeper sleep than that where less current is drawn?
-
@NeverDie
Trysleep(60000); // Sleeps for a minute in deep sleep
-
@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?
-
Is that a bare board with nothing connected (Not even serial)?
-
@rmtucker said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

Yes. It's the bare Ebyte nRF52832 module. The only connections are Vcc and GND.
-
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:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/nRF52832-Bluetooth-4-1-BLE-Module-M4-Transparent-Transmission-SMA-512K-FLASH-64K-RAM-pass-through/32798522093.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.KKA3PF
and during sleep it measured 6uA. Quite a bit lower!Anyone know of a module which tests even lower than that?

Did you use the same board definition in the IDE and the same script ?

Have you tried sleep and wait for an external interrupt instead of sleep and wake on timer?
Just in case it is the lfxtl that is causing the problem.

Just in case it is the lfxtl that is causing the problem.Haven't tried that yet. Is there a library functional call for that, or do I need to start addressing the registers directly? With this new mpu, I feel like I'm learning to walk all over again.

-
@rmtucker said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:
Try
sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(10), FALLING,0);Unexpected result: using that as the sleep invocation, the infor-link module measures at 14ua while sleeping. i.e. worse, not better, compared to the 6ua measured earlier.
-
Looks as though the infor-link is using an A620N crystal:
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.
-
Maybe it doesn't matter, because in looking at the actual module I received, it appears to use a different XTAL anyway: A649N.
-
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.
-
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.

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?
Or do you only have the main board without the smaller plug-in module?
It actually looks like a nice setup.
-
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.
-
@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 ?
-
@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.
-
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?

400,000 hours on 2xAA if we let it sleep.
That will do for me!.
Now a little playtime and maybe some range testing.

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.

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.

Is there a mysensors demo sketch that involves i2c? I could try it on my end, though I expect I'd probably get the same as you.

I see that Amazon is selling the Arduino Primo now: https://www.amazon.com/Arduino-A000138-low-power-coin-sized-wearables/dp/B073JN7XXR/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1501982634&sr=8-12&keywords=nrf52832
First time I've seen it for sale anywhere.

@NeverDie they also has started to sell "big" Primo

Yeah, the big version has Wi-Fi, so I suspect it's meant to function much like a wireless serial gateway.

Maybe you can get much of the same benefits--but at a lower cost--by combining an nRF5 with an ESP8266. Example:

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.

With the nRF51 there is an bug, after using the debug interface the current consumption is higher until reset.

Yes But it seems to have trouble reading sensors.

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.

So, I decided to try running it from a 10F 2.7v supercap and see how long it lasts. It reports its voltage once every 5 minutes. I'm using Domoticz to log the values and graph them.

Does it rest entirely on Sandeep's shoulders as to if/when it gets fixed? I'm trying to understand how big/small the workforce is.

-
@NeverDie
Actually i wonder if development has stopped?
no new commits in three months?

@NeverDie
Trouble is the aeos is using nrf52 not nrf51.
-
@rmtucker said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:
@NeverDie
Trouble is the aeos is using nrf52 not nrf51.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.
-
@rmtucker
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.
-
Bummer. I guess you still have anticimex's suggestion though of the bit-bang workaround, if you're so inclined. If you're able to get that to work, please do post to let us know.
-
@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.
-
@NeverDie nice results! What kind of overcharge protection are you using?
-
@mfalkvidd said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

A 2.7v LDO. Very low quiescent current of just 1ua.

@NeverDie thanks. My first supercap is on the way so I'm looking forward to build something with it.

I notice someone on AliExpress is selling a similar concept for the nRF52832 to what you're using for the nRF51:

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

Diptrace.
Very easy to learn. Watch this tutorial series, and in a little more than an hour you'll know enough to use it for doing real work: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWy-YwxbAu8EkNv6iMsfLeH6Yahcwejwx
-
@rmtucker said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

However, if you have the time to invest, you might want to learn KiCAD instead (http://kicad-pcb.org/). It's open source and free.
My only real concern about Diptrace is that sharing source files is very, very difficult. Eagle is much better for that, it seems. I'm guessing KiCAD is also good with that, but I can't say that I know for sure.
-
If I was starting, it would be with Kicad.
-
@Nca78
Is it easy to share source files in KiCAD?
-
@NeverDie in KiCAD format, I suppose
But even if it's not easy at least anyone can download Kicad and open them to at have a look without beeing block if you have more than two layers, or too big board.
I'm still using Eagle at the moment, it's the most common software but the changes made in what you can do with the free licence + limitation of PCB size are annoying. At some point I'll have to be strong and make the move to KiCAD...
-
before you design your own board:
-
@Toyman
Yes i am already running that board at the moment.
But that board consumes around 140uA when sleeping.
It must be the extra electronics like the regulator and uart.
even when feeding the core board with 3.3v directly.
When the core board is on its own it only measures 5uA when sleeping.
-
This nRF52832 module looks to be pretty small, and it has both oscillators on it.
-
Help needed!! I am trying to program nrf51822 with Black Magic Probe , but BMP is not recognized by Arduino IDE.
I can do everything in gdb, e.g. do mass erase, upload soft device etc, but BMP is simply not listed in programmers' list in Arduino IDE so I can't upload sketches.
-
Could anyone tell me why the waveshare board is pulling 140uA when sleeping with everything unpugged including the usb and all the header jumpers so only 3.3v and ground fed to the header pins so not using the regulator etc.
I have attached a link to the schematic hoping some circuit wiz might be able to explain.
link textIf i unplug the core board and just power that with 3.3v and gnd it only uses 5uA when sleeping.
-
Even if you're not using the regulator and the CP2102 usb-serial converter there are some leakage currents which are caused by the output stages of those IC's. For example the output stage of the voltage regulator can draw some even if it's not powered. The CP2102 can draw also through the TXD1/RXD1/SUSPEND1 LEDs and the associated GPIO pins P0.11, P0.09, etc.
So to prove and test that the above it's true you need to:
- Desolder the RT9193-33 or at least its output pin(Vout pin 5)
- Desolder R6, R7, R10
This is what I can conclude by looking at that schematic. Any other opinions?
-
@mtiutiu said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:
Any other opinions?
Yes. If it really matters that much, RMTucker should buy or make a uCurrent Gold. Otherwise, he'll find hmself chasing phantoms. I have a Fluke 87V, and I don't trust it to do these types of measurements (I've tried, and the results are just wrong when compared to a uCurrent Gold). I would trust a crappy multimeter even less. Been there and tried that already.
Just my two cents.
-
BTW, uCurrent Gold is open source. I have an original, but you can buy clones. For instance, LowPowerLab sells a clone. You might get it faster than ordering from Australia.... unless you live in Australia. Dave Jones did a video for me once, and so I thought he deserved the profit instead of somebody else.

It just depends on the burden voltage, no ? It's proportional to current in the circuit so in sleep mode when measuring around 10 uA it should be negligible.
Anyway I measure when powered with 3.3V so I'm sure what I measure is higher than what I will get in reality when circuit is powered with a 3V battery.
-
For measuring small currents I'm using Texas Instruments EnergyTrace piece of technology and it works pretty well. You just need one of their development boards with energytrace special microcontroller embedded which is very cheap. More infos here: http://43oh.com/2015/09/how-to-measure-an-energia-applications-power-usage-with-energytrace/
It can be used to measure other boards power usage also - you just need to take of some jumpers and plug in your external board.
It gives you real time energy measurements and with plotting too(and battery life estimation is displayed real time too). No need to worry about burden voltage and other external factors which affect the measurements.
-
@mtiutiu
I think maybe the nRF52 DK also has some energy measurement capability, but I haven't looked into it.

Looks like I was wrong earlier about the voltage reference being Vcc when doing an analog read on a pin. Instead, it seems to be a fixed reference. In any case, I'm getting better results with an expression like this, which is independent of Vcc:
millivolts = (analogRead(PIN)*3000/4095)
What are others here doing in this case?
