I have the nRF52 Dev Kit running now on Mac OS with SES. (for reference to this topic: click here)
My end result is to use the nRF52 chip as part of a MIDI wind controller. I use the Teensy Arduino compatible MCU for the bulk of the wind controller, including creating MIDI messages that can be sent to a MIDI synthesizer over USB MIDI or via serial (UART).
I want to leverage the MIDI over BLE specified at MIGI.org
I expect I'll use BLE to communicate:
- MIDI messages out to a synthesizer (e.g. Garageband on the iPhone or Mac)
- Firmware updates in to the nRF52 chip and to the Wind Controller MCU from a Web App
- Wind Controller battery status to a host (such as the iPhone)
I am assuming the following:
- I need to incorporate the nRF52 chip into my board design (just the chip... no external antenna)
- I need to flash the nRF52 with all of the needed BLE services and characteristics somehow - ideally, from the Teensy MCU
Questions
- Am I on the right track above?
- Can anyone recommend a consultant (paid or otherwise) who could coach me on this?
