Hello everyone, I have an application that i would like to complete and I have most of it finished on Arduino but there are size constraints. Because of that i found the Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822 chip to be the best for the job. I have just ordered the development kit but i wanted to be as prepared as possible when it gets here and i was hoping i could have a few questions answered.
- For my end goal of programming a Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822 chip and having it be part of my PCB, do i need A Nordic "Dongle"?
- What is the Nordic "Dongle"?
- I have some background in Java and swift (going for mobile app end result here), can anyone send me some guide as to using the best SDK to get everything coded?
- I have seen some "J-TAG" when talking about the SDK, what is that precisely?
- Any and all tutorials and references to help get me started with the software issue as it looks like there is a lot of steps for someone who is of my level (Total Beginner)
Any and all posts are greatly appreciated as you can tell I am pretty confused and don't know much but I am all too eager to learn. I just need some help sifting through everything to get the right stuff to study. Thank you so much for you help!!!
