Arduino Support

https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-nRF5

  • Require J-Link or DK board, intall mbed driver
  • Use sketch -> upload via programmer

https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/9266/guide-nrf5-nrf51-nrf52-for-beginners

  • Use mysensor arduino board (ebyte) and arduino nRF5

Error and Bugs

For Keil

For Arduino Upload Error

  • Check if the board in DFU mode, LED blink in 'timebome' sequence
  • Disconnect and reconnect FTDI cable
