Connect two nRF8001

[selfbg]

First, I'm just beginning bluetooth solutions, so I apologize if my question is dumb :)

I have 2 Arduino boards, with 2 nRF8001 shields. I want to connect them. After that I want to send some chars from A to B, and than B to send some response. So this is the BIG idea :)

For device B I,m using ble_uart_project_template, and for A - ble_my_proj_template.

The problem is how to connect the devices??? B is advertising. But can't find the "right" way to connect A with B. Should I bond them or not ?

Thanks in advance, Stefan

Hi,

The nRF8001 is a peripheral device only. To connect to an advertising peripheral you need a central device. e.g. iPhone or Android 4.3/4 device. You can use nRF UART for iOS or Android to connect with the ble_uart_project_template.

You can also use a nRF51822 as a central device using the S120 stack ( Bluetooth low energy 8-link central/observer role protocol stack).
