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).

If you want to use with Master Control Panel, you need to flash MEFW_nrf51822_0.11.0_firmware_1M.hex from C:\Program Files (x86)\Nordic Semiconductor\Master Control Panel\3.10.0.14\firmware\pca10000 folder
