RedBearLab BLE Nano - Issues with Arduino Examples

Wireless & IoT
1

Hi,

I’m having issues getting the “SimpleControls” Arduino (v1.8.3) example to run on the RedBearLab BLE Nano (v1.5). I have tried the “BLEController” and “SimpleChat” examples without any luck, but I have gotten the “Blink” example to work.

The scripts compile and upload without any issues, but I never see a BLE device when scanning with my phone and with the BLE Controller App (v2.0.2). Execution does seem to start, as “Advertising Start!” is printed in the serial monitor at restart.

This makes me think it could be a ble initialization issue. Are there any modifications I need to make to the base code to make this work?

Thanks,

Phillip

I was able to resolve this issue by turning on the GPS on my phone.
