Tinyshield BLE - control LED doesn't blink

[Thea]

Hallo together,

I'm trying to use the BLE rev2 board and I was already able to find it through some Android BLE App but now its not working anymore. From time to time i was able to make it visible and with the same programm and no changed settings its not visible anymore. I also recognized that sometimes (and than its available) the small amber colored LED on the BLE Board is on, but now most time its off.
What does this LED say? i wasn't able to find anything about it in the code. Should it glow permanent? Is it possible that the board itself is not working properly?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Thea,

Missed your last post- cool project. I haven't worked with the Bluegiga BLE module in while, so I'll run some tests soon and make sure the libraries and tutorials are still working properly.

Hey,
Thank you. This would be really helpfull.
I already had contact with the german reseller, and they tested the board and also didnt get it to work. now they orderd me a new one, which i test in the moment. But the same problems still appear.
I dont get it to work. My Adroid-Phone doesnt recognize it at all. (with same test-script (downloaded form your tutorial page) it was already working for some time).

Should this LED on the BLE Board be on?
I tried it with battery power (coin cell 3V) and with USB-Power. Both isn't working.

Your help would be really appreciated!
Thank you

I found out, why the modul was not detected by my Phone.
When i downloaded the example BGLib_stub_slave I installed the libraries in my Arduino IDE. But without opening the libraries localy it brought up errors while compiling.
After some tries i found out that the BLE can be detected if only the local libraries (all 3: BGLib.cpp, BGLib.h, BGLibConfig.h) are in the projectfoldersand the installed ones are deleted (in C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries).
I don't know if this is probably normal, but that was my mistake.
