Hello,

Some news !
i buy a Jlink, and success in erase my nrf52832 with nrf prog, using method of berkseo.

Next i try to upload a basic sketch (blink) :

#define MY_RADIO_NRF5_ESB
#include <nrf.h>
#include <MySensors.h>

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
hwPinMode(LED_BUILTIN,OUTPUT_H0H1);
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}

I have this :

I think its good, but when i put a led with a resistance on P0.08, nothing

could you help me more ?

LED_BUILTIN corresponds to po17

I thought I mastered nrf5 platform bit it looks I am not.
I have a PCB where i2c sensor is hardwired to po30 and po31 of nrf52832.
What changes I have to make in MyBoardNRF5.cpp?
Shall I bring lines 28/29 that have "A4" and "A5" in their desciption to 30th and 31st position in the list?

@ileneken3 have you returned the jumpers back?

@omemanti said in [nRF5 action!]Maybe that's the €3 solution for unlocking.

BMP is enough to unlock. BluePill costs ca. €2 and it's easily convertable to BMP

@mr_red said in nRF5 action!:

Is there any way to do this over the programmer?

Not in Arduino. In KEIL you can use RTT (pretty cool stuff, debug via SWD)
But if you just want to decrease a number of programmers, you can use Black Magic Probe, made from BluePill ($2 at Ali). It is 2-in-1 SWD and USB-UART converter on one PCB

Can you pls. upload the design files?

@rozpruwacz said in my first nrf5 ... NRF51/NRF52 which is better for MySensors ?:

So smd modules are no good for me

If so, your only choice is nrf52DK. Solid investment given you get jlink programmer with it

how do you guys solder nrf52840 modules without reflow oven?
they have many pads at the bottom

@hugob said in my first nrf5 ... NRF51/NRF52 which is better for MySensors ?:

• The programmer on the Arduino IDE is not working for me ("No J-Link" error, while there is a J-Link interface available), so I export a HEX fle form Arduino IDE and program the board with the nRFConnect tool from Nordic.

if read sandeep's notes on Githun, you'll find you have to replace the driver with Zaddig but then Jlink will stop functioning in Keil.
That's why I use BMP for Arduino-style programming as it has its own drivers and do not ruin jlink installation

@rozpruwacz I would strongly encourage you do start with nrf52832 ebyte mosule coupled with Nevrdie's breakout board. It is a) proven b) cheap c) breadboard friendly
