Hello, I am using RedBear Lab Ble shield v2.0 having nRf8001, with Arduino Uno as peripheral and sending data to my mobile. But now my application needs to receive data from multiple same BLE shields, like basically I want to make a piconet with the BLE shields as slaves. But I couldn't find much info about using nRF8001 for this purpose, instead people are using nRF5 series. So is possible to create a piconet with my existing BLE shield with nRF8001 or do I need to switch to nRF5 series?
Also I have BLE mini from RedBear Lab, will that work for my application?
And what is the basic criteria which makes a particular chip or board able to work as a piconet.
Thank you
