Do I have to learn BLE protocol for nRF51xxx control?

[JoonDong]

I got started with bluetooth learning. But it's too hard to understand ble protocol. Do I have to learn BLE protocol even If my purpose is only ble communication with simple GPIO control? Is it enough to just analyze API function?

I do see lots of our customers manage to come up with good application without spending too much time digging into BLE protocol. My suggestion is to start with our SDK examples, test and find what you can do with the example to integrate your application in.

But if you want to have a quick start with BLE you can watch this "Introduction to BLE" and/or have a look at my blogs here.

And of course, check out our tutorials here.
