The peripheral LBS sample demonstrates how to use the :ref:`lbs_readme`.

Requirements
************

The sample supports the following development kits:

.. table-from-sample-yaml::

.. include:: /includes/tfm.txt

The sample also requires a smartphone or tablet running a compatible application.
The `Testing`_ instructions refer to `nRF Connect for Mobile`_, but you can also use other similar applications (for example, `nRF Blinky`_ or `nRF Toolbox`_).

Overview
********

When connected, the sample sends the state of **Button 1** on the development kit to the connected device, such as a phone or tablet.
The mobile application on the device can display the received button state and control the state of **LED 3** on the development kit.

You can also use this sample to control the color of the RGB LED on the nRF52840 Dongle or Thingy:53.

User interface
**************

The user interface of the sample depends on the hardware platform you are using.

nRF52840 Dongle
===============

Green LED:
   Blinks, toggling on/off every second, when the main loop is running and the device is advertising.

RGB LED:
   The RGB LED channels are used independently to display the following information:

   * Red - If Dongle is connected.
   * Green - If user set the LED using Nordic LED Button Service.

Button 1:
   Send a notification with the button state: "pressed" or "released".

Thingy:53
=========

RGB LED:
   The RGB LED channels are used independently to display the following information:

   * Red - If the main loop is running (that is, the device is advertising).
     The LED blinks with a period of two seconds, duty cycle 50%.
   * Green - If the device is connected.
   * Blue - If user set the LED using Nordic LED Button Service.

   For example, if Thingy:53 is connected over Bluetooth, the LED color toggles between green and yellow.
   The green LED channel is kept on and the red LED channel is blinking.

Button 1:
   Send a notification with the button state: "pressed" or "released".

Development kits
================

LED 1:
   Blinks when the main loop is running (that is, the device is advertising) with a period of two seconds, duty cycle 50%.

LED 2:
   Lit when the development kit is connected.

LED 3:
   Lit when the development kit is controlled remotely from the connected device.

Button 1:
   Send a notification with the button state: "pressed" or "released".

Building and running
********************
.. |sample path| replace:: :file:`samples/bluetooth/peripheral_lbs`

.. include:: /includes/build_and_run_ns.txt

Minimal build
=============

You can build the sample with a minimum configuration as a demonstration of how to reduce code size and RAM usage, using the ``-DFILE_SUFFIX=minimal`` flag in your build.

See :ref:`cmake_options` for instructions on how to add this option to your build.
For example, when building on the command line, you can add the option as follows:

.. code-block:: console

   west build samples/bluetooth/peripheral_lbs -- -DFILE_SUFFIX=minimal

.. _peripheral_lbs_testing:

Testing
=======

After programming the sample to your dongle or development kit, test it by performing the following steps:

1. Start the `nRF Connect for Mobile`_ application on your smartphone or tablet.
#. Power on the development kit or insert your dongle into the USB port.
#. Connect to the device from the application.
   The device is advertising as ``Nordic_LBS``.
   The services of the connected device are shown.
#. In **Nordic LED Button Service**, enable notifications for the **Button** characteristic.
#. Press **Button 1** on the device.
#. Observe that notifications with the following values are displayed:

   * ``Button released`` when **Button 1** is released.
   * ``Button pressed`` when **Button 1** is pressed.

#. Write the following values to the LED characteristic in the **Nordic LED Button Service**.
   Depending on the hardware platform, this produces results described in the table.

+========================+=========+==============================================+
| Development kit        | ``OFF`` | Switch the **LED3** off.                     |
+                        +---------+----------------------------------------------+
|                        | ``ON``  | Switch the **LED3** on.                      |
+------------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------+
| nRF52840 Dongle        | ``OFF`` | Switch the green channel of the RGB LED off. |
+                        +---------+----------------------------------------------+
|                        | ``ON``  | Switch the green channel of the RGB LED on.  |
+------------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------+
| Thingy:53              | ``OFF`` | Switch the blue channel of the RGB LED off.  |
+                        +---------+----------------------------------------------+
|                        | ``ON``  | Switch the blue channel of the RGB LED on.   |
