BLE shield to nRF51

[10Hsin]

Hi, I'm trying to move my code from Red Bear BLE shield with Arduino to nRF51 dongle. Is there any possible method? (ex. share the same library or SDK helping)

Hey.

Update: This is not possible. The arduino code is for an atmel chip, which communicated with a nRF8001 over SPI. This code will not work on the nRF51 inside the nRF Dongle.

Wrong answer:

I do not have any first hand knowledge with the redBearlab Arduino framework, but it should be possible. When compiling the arduino code, a hex file should be generated. You can transfer this hex file to the dongle with nRFgo studio or drag-and-dropping it on the JLINK drive in "My Computer". Let me know if you unsuccessful, and i will try it myself.

Hi. I just realized that the BLE shield contains a nRF8001. The dongle has a nRF51422. You cannot use the same code as with the BLE shield. You can use any of the example projects in our SDK to program the dongle though.
