General Discussion / Re: Question about setting up BLE nordic nRf8001

« on: May 18, 2016, 10:09:39 AM »

Hi Mark- there are some changes needed for TS+ that we should have gotten out earlier, sorry about that. I've added them to https://codebender.cc/sketch:91073 , can you download that and give it a try? It builds on my system, Win7/1.6.8

As you say, uint16_t should be fine- probably 'dumb' compiler output.

Thanks,
Ben

Thank you Ben.  Successful compile with no errors on Mac OS 10.11.4 with Arduino IDE 1.6.9.  Now onto sorting out how to do something 

Best regards,

Mark

Yes, that's the intent of the commented instruction. I just got a chance to test this with 1.6.8- first, what error are you getting with codebender without the serial monitor open? I'm running https://codebender.cc/sketch:91073 and don't notice one.

I also don't see the same errors in the IDE. I get the 'usual' error with the hal_aci_data_t type due to differences in how codebender and the IDE compile the code.

I put a new workaround in place in the example to avoid this- try downloading the zip again and following the new instructions(#define CODEBENDER false, rename uart.h to uart.ino). This now works correctly in the IDE for me, so see what you get and we can try to figure out any other differences.

Thanks,
Ben

I downloaded the TinyShield_NRF8001_BLE_Example this evening and am using Arduino 1.6.8 on a Mac.  I changed line 4 in the main code file to #define CODEBENDER false  and renamed the UART.h file to UART.ino

I am getting compile fails in the aci.h file of the form

aci.h:265: error: 'uint16_t' does not name a type

I have the nordic board connected to the TinyScreen+ board.

I'm not sure why I would get a compile error on the uint16_t type.  I've used it in other sketches.

Any ideas/suggestions are appreciated.

Mark
