Bonding between two NRF5 modules (DKs)?

[MikeLemon]

Hello there, 

I'd like to bond between two nrf5 modules and have a real time communication between them.

Now my question is what is the role each would have to play( from what I understood it's something with central peripheral) 

And It'd be useful to have a simple example that uses UART on both sides to transmit data between the units and more sources to where you can find more info about this behavior.

Probably need to mention that I'm not very families with the whole Bluetooth things even consumer wise and all info I managed to find was only about the standard sensor environment BLE and non relate to the actual code diving.

Thanks for helping.

Hi,

Yes, a BLE connection is between a "central" and a "peripheral". They are so named because a typical scenario is that you have a smartphone (central) that connects to a number of sensor devices (peripherals) such as heart rate monitors, temperature sensors, etc.

I suggest having a look at our tutorials here on DevZone, in particular the ones under Getting Started and the Bluetooth low energy ones. While the SDK versions used are a couple of years old they are still good resources for getting the basic concepts.

Another good starting point is the Getting Started section of the SDK documentation.

For "UART" communication over BLE you can have a look at the UART/Serial Port Emulation over BLE (for peripheral) and Nordic UART Service Client (for central) examples.
