Can't get nrf8001 Bluefruit LE-breakout to work

Post by mohnda »

I got my bleutooth LE and now trying to test it (using https://learn.adafruit.com/getting-star ... troduction) before integrating it into my project.

However, after I finished all the wiring, I uploaded the sketch, but the bluetooth status isn't changing from the ACI_EVT_DISCONNECTED it was originally set to be. Has anybody encountered this before or could anyone please help me out?

Thanks

Post a photo of your hardware and we'll see if we can find anything.

Please find attached, the wiring is exactly the same as specified https://learn.adafruit.com/getting-star ... rything-up. Let me know if you still need it and I will attach it, although it is confusing to tell which jumper connects to which pin.

It looks like you have some cold solder joints there. This guide has tips on fixing those: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-guid ... n-problems

Hi, I seem to be having the same issue.
I have checked my board and wires for connection issues. Attached is my soldering which seems to be fine. I checked with a dmm just to make sure. Also everything is wired as suggested and I even display the status of the chip in my loop function and it never changer off of 134, the disconnected value.
Here are my connection.

If you have any helpful tips or suggestions I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

It looks like the photo of your connections didn't come through. Could you re-post that please?
