https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/16490/atmega-328-nrf8001Sorry I am new to this. Therefore this question may seem to be odd: I want to build a temp monitor using an nRF8001 (BLE Board Adafruit) and send this data to my mobile over BLE. Question 1: Do I need to use a &#181;C like 328 in addition to the BLEen-USTelligent Community 13Sat, 17 Sep 2016 21:00:24 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/63117?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 17 Sep 2016 21:00:24 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:dc01c870-217c-415a-91aa-0ece15c692daawneil<ol> <li> <p>Yes, the nRF8001 requires an external microcontroller - an AVR should be fine.</p> </li> <li> <p>All the sensor interfacing and handling is done by the microcontroller - the nRF80001 is purely a radio transceiver.</p> </li> <li> <p>I guess you mean Atmel Studio? There is an Arduino library here: <a href="https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/ble-sdk-arduino">github.com/.../ble-sdk-arduino</a> - it can easily be adapted to non-arduino use. Alternatively, Atmel Studio 7 can directly import Arduino &quot;sketches&quot;</p> </li> <li> <p>Reading about what, exactly?</p> </li> </ol><div style="clear:both;"></div>
