I am developing a product where I need to read a signal from an SPI ADC and send remotely to a receiver. This will be powered of a coin cell. I see that the NRF51422 is low power, but I am confused about how to program it... is the software available able to load a defined program on the NRF51422 much like any other microcontroller? or this chip is only useful for handling the signal transmission?
Is there another NRF chip that comes in a more friendly package, like soic or QFN? maybe less pins, but easier to prototype?
Thanks.. A little bit of pointers will go a long way. Right now I am using the NRF24L01 with an atmel micro, but I want to save space in my board by combining mcu and transmission in one chip.
