This is from the previous Blog: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ I've looked at the other dev boards. I found this one nRF52832 System on Chip and Amber SPP-over-BLE profile. The one from Nguyen Hoan Hoang I can't find in Germany. But my question to all that is this: How do I program the chip? Previous chips I was able to use the Arduino IDE which uses .h and .ino files. The code itself I think is in "C" if I'm not mistaken. Can I use the same Arduino IDE to program the Nordic chip nRF52832? Or do I have to learn something new again? Furthermore: this chip, nRF52832 System on Chip and Amber SPP-over-BLE profile: can I use it for my project? Program it to open up 2 logic PIN's to power a motor driver? What's a good driver for this board? Currently I'm using this one DRV 8835 from Pololu. Would that work for this board as well? Or is this board also come with preprogramming for Characteristics/Services? And its own UI? Remember, I want my own UI. This is what I want: click on the app icon-it should open the app and autoscan for peripheral-when found only connect if the ble mac address is the correct one-once connected it should have only 2 buttons on the UI to open 2 logic pins that's it for now. Questions: Can I program this chip like mentioned above? Can I use the Arduino IDE to program it? if not what do I need? Can I use the Pololu driver? Or do you have another one for me? Or should I rather use this board: nRF51 Dongle for my project? On this website: [http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/proje...] you can see the UI on the device and the code for it. Please have a look and tell me if I can use this code for to program those to devices: nRF51 Dongle, nRF52832. Oh, and how do I program this chip: nRF52832? I don't see a usb connection on it to connect it to the PC? While on the dongle I think I can connect it to the PC to program it, right? Or is it easier to just clear/flush my current chip? So that it has no characteristics on it. Then reprogram it with Nordic's firmware so that a peripheral can connect to the chip and send a simple char of lets say "o" to open one PIN and send another char lets say "c" to open another PIN? Can I do this on this chip? I would then put this code on the chip:

APPLICATION SETTINGS
FACTORYRESET_ENABLE Perform a factory reset when running this sketch
Enabling this will put your Bluefruit LE module
in a 'known good' state and clear any config
data set in previous sketches or projects, so
running this at least once is a good idea.
When deploying your project, however, you will
want to disable factory reset by setting this
value to 0. If you are making changes to your
Bluefruit LE device via AT commands, and those
changes aren't persisting across resets, this
is the reason why. Factory reset will erase
the non-volatile memory where config data is
stored, setting it back to factory default
values.
Some sketches that require you to bond to a
central device (HID mouse, keyboard, etc.)
won't work at all with this feature enabled
since the factory reset will clear all of the
bonding data stored on the chip, meaning the
central device won't be able to reconnect.
MINIMUM_FIRMWARE_VERSION Minimum firmware version to have some new features
MODE_LED_BEHAVIOUR LED activity, valid options are
"DISABLE" or "MODE" or "BLEUART" or
"HWUART" or "SPI" or "MANUAL"
