Blink LED with nRF51822 Developer Kit / Bluetooth Smart Beacon Kit

Is there anyway to get a light to blink using only the PCB antenna module? image description

  • I have the PCA10006, which has the nRF51422 but I assume it should be the same for you. Check the schematics for your board to be sure you are connecting everything to the right ports. They should be listed as hardware files in your "my downloads" page.

    On my board, P2.02 is connected to VCC with 3.6v, P2.06 to GND, with that the chip now powers up and is visible to the Segger debugger. Then on P2.31 and 32 (or fifth position up->down) I connect the LEDs.

    P1. positions 30 and 32 (or 5 and 6 counting up on the same row) have TX/RX which is connected to a UART module with an FTDI chip on it.

    The board in the picture is running the S110 experimental BLE/UART app, when I connect from the Android app the green LED turns on and the red turns off.

  • Also, what example did you say you were running? I don't see a BLE/UART in the s110 folder (including in the experimental folder of Board/s110).
