iOS or Android, anyone have this working?

Hi Folks,

I have successfully had this working once on an older NRF board, but I accidentally shorted that board out. I then purchased a new board and loaded this program and it fails to connect to my iPhone. Has anyone successfully linked this to an android or iphone?

Thanks,

Rob

BLE, bluetooth, mbed, Nordic

For whatever reason, the Nordic NRF iPhone app is not working with my setup. However, the Texas Instruments SensorTag app will discover and connect to this setup and display it as a Nordic NRF Temperature SEnsor. It shows the battery as well. Pretty cool.

I've tried this on 3 Android Phones and the phone will not discover this device when it's advertising. I have gotten this to work reliably on an iPhone 5s with the TI SensorTag app. Got it working once with the Nordic NRF Toolkit app, but has since gone south on the iPhone... Anyone else have this working on Android?

Hi, I have a Nexus 5 and I'm on day 2 of messing around with mbed/nRF51822. When I use the native bluetooth discovery app on my phone I can't discover the nordic board. But when I use the nRF Master Control App I downloaded from the App store, I can discover my nordic board (loaded with BLE_Beacon or BLE_HeartRate example codes). I still haven't managed to connect to the board and do anything meaningful yet, but I will report back if I succeed!

If I am not wrong: the Nordic app is checking for the "Indication" in the characteristics properties as it is mandatory, check if you did not set the "Notification".

Hey, try to find your solution at different blogs. Usually I find interesting infromation and solutions where I don't suggest to find it. Can offer you the site, where I found a lot of mobile phones and everything about it, as example: keyword installs android. This site post a lot of information about phones, android, ios, windows. Hope that it will help you!

Hi, I know I'm posting a lot here.

I can report that I was able to connect to the board using this mbed code using my Nexus 5 (4.4.2). Here's the catch, the App provided by Nordic for Android (nRFToolbox etc) didn't work for connection - so I used the example android app code provided by the Bluetooth Developer Portal and I was able to establish a connection. If you dig down hard enough you would find video tutorials about bluetooth apps too.

I modified the program in the tutorial to get the nRF51822 mKit board connected to a BMP180 pressure sensor to read its temperature. I am able to use Nordic's Health Thermometer Monitor app on an iPad to read the battery and temperature of the BMP-180, but the temperature is too high; it is reading 64 Celsius!. I was using the same BMP180 library and sensor data read protocol to get more sensible pressure and temperature output from the same sensor using an STM32F401 Nucleo board. I don't quite understand what's happened, and my attempts to get Serial output or output to a led display have not been successful with the nRF51822 mKit board. Any idea of what could be wrong?

All of these question seems to be related to the fact that the firmware does not advertise LE_GENERAL_DISCOVERABLE.

See my answer in "This cannot connect to nRF Toolbox" in this forum. https://developer.mbed.org/questions/6969/This-cannot-connect-to-nRF-Toolbox/

nRF51822-mkit board successfully recognized on iPhone using LightBlue and BLExplr iOS applications. Cheers, Doug

Doug, I don't know how much development you are doing with this nordic board, but have you managed to establish a connection between the board and your phone? Also thanks for your input!
