Hi, in my application I have a device that has to be controlled by a remote control. For transmitting data between the remote and the device I would like to use BLE (not the proprietary Nordic protocols). Is it correct that this scenario would require a GAP Central and GAP Peripheral device? Is it possible to use the nrf51822 for this scenario (I am not sure if the current version of SoftDevice supports GAP Central) inside the device and the remote?

Connection between two nrf51822 ICs

Hi,

in my application I have a device that has to be controlled by a remote control. For transmitting data between the remote and the device I would like to use BLE (not the proprietary Nordic protocols).

Hi Zacharias, nRF51822 doesn't support the BLE Central role, so, connecting two of them is not possible.

Try to use an iPhone o iPad as Central and nRF51822 as Peripheral.

iOS has a great framework for Bluetooth Low Energy, but , I can not say the same for the Nordic SDK (should be more intuitive... :( )

Then waiting for August beta. Hoping that it is able to handle both roles (one at a time) with a single softdevice.
