The chip has no peripheral which deals with real time. The clocks on the chip are just timers, they&amp;#39;ll count and give you time differences between things, but that&amp;#39;s it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And nano seconds? The device runs at 16MHz so 1/16,000,000 is your limit of resolution, 62.5ns, (which is about 20m distance for electromagnetic radiation) and that&amp;#39;s using the HF Clock powered TIMER, not the slower 32.768kHz timer. And you have bluetooth running too so anything you do is subject to delays imposed by the softdevice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I think you may have some issues trying to do what you&amp;#39;re trying to do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
