Can nrf51822+cp2102 set as a USB dongle

[chenyu]

Hi: I have no dongle or any other Dev board such as PCA10031. Can I use nrf51822 and cp2102 as a usb dongle to work with MCU of PC? If the answer is yes, what should I do? Thank you very much!

Hi Chenyu,

I think should be possible. Make sure you have the driver for the USB-UART dongle (cp2102), then make sure you connect the same UART pins as with our Dongle and DK kit (P0.08= RTS, P0.09=TXD, P0.10= CTS, P011= RXD).

Hi Chenyu,

You need to tell me how you connect the nRF51822 to the cp2102. The hex files you mentioned were not for the nRF51 but the interface CPU on the dev kit that you don't have.

And I agree with Awneil, it's easier that you get started with a DevKit.
