Nordic nRF52840-Dongle 2.4GHz RF Development Board (Intro & Programming Examples)

The nRF52840 Dongle from Nordic Semiconductor is an incredibly energy-efficient 2.4GHz (BLE/ANT/Thread/Zigbee) development board for the nRF52 SoC that can be programmed over USB. This video is an introduction to the SDK for programming these and it barely scratches the surface of what these devices are capable of.

Please, continue making some nRF52840 stuff!!!!

Adding this video to my list of tutorials to try out for the nordic board

[davidissler]

Thank you for this video. It really helps to start with nordic ble. It is much more helpful than nordics tutorials. What I would be interested in, is how to control the LED from a smartphone/or in your case the puck.

This is really awesome. I did found this board recently and was a bit scared how to upload code and bring it to work. I am very thankful that you make this video, I will definitely now buy me such a dongle

[mstjerning]

Great video! In your "blinky" example (ex00), you should change "BSP_BUTTON_0" to "BSP_BOARD_BUTTON_0" in the bsp_board_state_get() function. Again, great videos - keep it up! :)

[timothyvanellemeet]

Super useful and well explained - would love to see more examples, especially some with Nordic's Mesh SDK

[jupel]

Thanks a lot for the video. I have started to use nrf52 dev kit with help of your guide.

[pandarzzz]

Thank you for sharing this informative video~! 😃 I find your tutorial straightforward, easy-to-comprehend. I look forward to trying out my nRF52840 over the weekends!

[dirku]

Exactly the level of detail I wanted. Great Video.

[mrcollie]

i came across your video and it is very useful, thank you Davy.

Hi Mr. Bot - you are brilliant in all the best ways. Refreshers on machine/assembler?! You win the internet so far this month - adorable, Then open source, open hardware, python, adafruit, and sbcs? I've been on a similar path in computer science lately. I make systems with an open software stack. I like seeing hardware executing these . open software solutions. We need to collect farm data across huge acreage to better manage our farm operations and efficiency. And all the farmers are elderly. All the best.

Hi, Thanks for this great work.
In nrf Programmer, when I add .hex file with your version of blinkyApp, and I try add softdevice hex file, a have an error that, the files are overlapping... Where, and what value I should put in some config files to overcome this situation? I did not any changes in oryginal sdk files. Preparing of hex file with app, works fine.

[Ownedyou]

Really should have called the video "Welcome to the Dongle!"

[ahoe]

is there a tutorial on how to use this gcc stuff? I have only used IDEs that did all the stuff for me.

Hey DavyBot,
Could you share the code of the nRF52840 Dingle and also from the Puck?

[saxonwynter]

Would really love to see more examples with this device

[hughbreivik]

Great video. Just wonder if it could be updated to cover thread protocol instead of Bluetooth, perhaps leaning towards combining some nrf52840 dongles with Apple HomeKit devices / thread networking…

[MrChaosAdam]

Can you maybe share your example files, please?

[frequencymaster]

hello,
your video is great, I have followed all your steps. I am using Segger embedded studio.
Unfortunate, I'm unable to get output. I can see the green led but can not detect this dongle on any of the Bluetooth devices.
Can you please guide with this? else can you post your code here?

[NDSno]

Thanks for the video. Would you mind showing how you setup your config files so they includes the necessary includes folders from the sdk? Thanks.
