BLE Example using nrf51822 Beacon Kit

[Klaus Karkov]

I need a code example (e.g. Health Thermometer) that runs on the Beacon Kit. I have tried several combinations of soft devices and code examples, but I can't get it running. I have installed the C# HealthThermoDemo application connected to a PCA10031 on another PC and that seems to work. Can anyone help me with a correct combination of a SoftDevice and Application code, including correct Target setup (Options for Target)

It should be possible to run those examples on the beacon kit. You have a revision 3 chip on it, so you should be able to use the latest SDK with the latest SoftDevice. That said, the beacon kit is more a reference design for beacons, than a development kit. I recommend the nRF52832, this is our latest and greatest chip. Get a nRF52 DK and you are good to go. I also recommend to consider getting a nRF51 dongle, to use the nRF Sniffer and nRF Connect.
