Go to App Store, download and install "nRF Connect"


1. Scan and locate your unit (SMT_xxxxxx) then press "Connect"


2. Select "Client" Tab


3. Scroll down to locate the "Unknown Characteristic" and click on the icon with 3 bars to subscribe to it


4. Now, we need to send a command to the unit, so, click on the "Send" icon (Up Arrow)


6. Select UTF8 and type in "r00X00" and click "Write" to send the command (0s are zeros)

Note: Command is case sensitive!


7. Next we are going to look for the return value in the Log.  Go to the "Log" tab. 

Note: Scrolling might be locked by default, so, click on the scroll lock icon (bottom right) until it says "Scrolling Unlocked"


8. Scroll to locate the return value. The return-value line item will say 

"Read Value 0x72-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx for Characteristic FF01" 

Note: Notice how the value will start with 0x72  (letter "r" in hex)


Note down the whole value. This value represents the raw reading value of the soil probe.
