nRF52 Central Peripheral BLE connect

[Shahid Ali Nadaf]

Hi,

I am new to the BLE environment. I am trying to connect my smart phone with nRF52832 development kit over BLE. Here, my smart phone should be able to send some user data to nRF52832 development kit. To get started with i have set up the HRM project (ble_app_hrs) on GCC Linux eclipse. And i am also going through few tutorials provided by nordic.

In Heart Rate Monitor(HRM) project i see that Smart phone is my Central device and nRF52832 DK is my peripheral device. In HRM project nRf52832 DK(peripheral) is sending the data to my smart phone(central), so my question is can a peripheral device receive data from central??

If not, then can someone direct me to some examples where i can send data to nrf52832 DK with my smart phone being my central device.

Yes, GAP Peripheral and GAP Central roles allow you to have bi-directional communication (actually even full-duplex). The terms you are looking for are GATT Server and GATT Client (and GATT methods called "Write" and "Notify").
