I am new to the nrf51 DK, and would like some insight on Bluetooth

[Callie]

For starters, I'd like to use an Arduino Uno to receive a Bluetooth signal from the nrf51 DK and turn an LED on/off.

What materials do I need to do something simple like that with nrf51 DK and Bluetooth 4.0?

Also, if I want to do more advanced tasks with low energy Bluetooth, how do I proceed?

-Thanks!

The easiest way to blink a led will probably be this:

First, read the getting started guide and learn how to program the nRF51. You may also want to go through the basic tutorials as well.

Then open our NUS server example project. Modify the project to set a pin high or low based on data received on BLE. Then you can read this pin with your arduino. The function nus_data_handler in main.c is where you must read the received data and set the gpio pin.

You can download iOS and Android apps which can connect and communicate with this application.
