begin() problem?

[panzoide]

i have an olimexino-nano-ble, and i try everithing that i could, but i couldnt even get the starter.ino working.

it stopjust after i call "blePeripheral.begin();"

i did make it work with the "olimex libraries", so i know that the pins for REQN, RDYN and reset are correct,

What could be the problem?

thx

@panzoide you'll have to pass in the correct pins into the BLEPeripheral constructor. Please see: https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-BLEPeripheral/blob/master/API.md#constructor

What Arduino board are you using with the olimexino-nano-ble?

[panzoide]

im using an olimexino-nano,
and i did pass the correct pins to the BLEperipheral, REQ=6 RDY=4 RST=5, they work for this library, but doesnt have eddystone (https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/ble-sdk-arduino)

[sandeepmistry]

@panzoide could you please try uncommenting the following define: https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-BLEPeripheral/blob/master/src/nRF8001.cpp#L6

To enable debug output.

[panzoide]

it just stay at:

Evt Device Started: Setup 07 06 00 00 03 02 41 FE
it's the only output after 3 minutes running

Ok, it's a bit difficult for me to figure this out without a physical board, but just to confirm you have BLEPeripheral(6, 4, 5)?

What version of the Arduino IDE are you using?

[panzoide]

i have the exact starter.ino with
BLEPeripheral blePeripheral = BLEPeripheral(6,4,5);

and im using the 1.8.1v

[sandeepmistry]

@panzoide maybe this is an SPI speed issue.

Could you try changing:

arduino-BLEPeripheral/src/nRF8001.cpp

Line 133 in f591da1

this->_aciState.aci_pins.spi_clock_divider = SPI_CLOCK_DIV8;

? Maybe DIV16 will be better?

I am new to Arduino. Using the Arduino Uno R3 with a Adafruit Bluefruit LE nRF8001. I'm following this tutorial: https://library.oreilly.com/book/0636920031932/make-bluetooth/22.xhtml?ref=toc#connecting-to-an-arduino I have the correct pins passing through to BLEPeripheral per the tutorial. I have also tried downgrading to a few versions of this library with no luck.

I am having the same issue as @panzoide - I tried changing that line to DIV16 with no luck.

It appears the problem I was having was the example cheating a bit on the uuid:

BLEService lightswitch = BLEService("FF10");

Changing this to 32 character uuid clears up the begin() issue that I was having.

I have the same problem: it stops after blePeripheral.begin();
I'm working with a NRF52832 module, softdevice 132, Generic NRF52 board.

I've tried to change BLEService to 32 chars but no success for me. It stops, too.

Any suggestion will be a real help.

I've figured out my problem: I don't have a low frequency crystal. Only 32Mhz crystal. And every time when I make a short between P0.00 and P0.01 - LFCLK pins, the module appears in the smartphone app, but I can't connect because of the short.
I've compiled with internal oscillator, by selecting from Tools>RC oscillator and it works, I can connect to it.
Now I try to figured out how to disable the external LFCLK on Arduino Primo board, cause it doesn't have a menu in Tools dedicated to it.

it just stay at:

Sorry to dig this back up, having this problem in 2021 with the same board. Did you ever figure it out?

[MayCXC]

Some debugging has shown that it is actually freezing in this->sendSetupMessage(&setupMsg); from line 314 of nrf8001.cpp, I will investigate more in there...
