Interface bno055 with nrf51822 smart beacon (pca20006)

[Help]

Hello,

I'm working on a project for which I would like to interface bno055 with nrf51822 smart beacon using i2c/uart. Basically the beacon must extract sensor values from the sensor and advertise the same using GAP profile.

I was able to successfully program the beacon with blinky example in sdk11. But there are only 2 code examples available for pca20006 one is blinky and other is ble_app_beacon. Why is that ?

There 3-4 gpio pins available in pca20006, can I get the job done with that?

Please point me in some direction as a newbie to nordic chips. . .Thanks in advance

The bacon kit is made for being an example of a beacon, and not a development kit.

For development, we recommend to use the nRF51-DK. It is a lot more flexible, and comes with an on-board debugger.
