BLE Mesh 1.0 & Cellphone

[JK0201]

Hi to everyone!

I recently bought the nRF52 SDK to use it in a project, but the kit contains a NFC antenna and I don´t know its use.

My project its about Bluetooth Mesh 1.0 and I suppose that I must use bluetooth to connect a mobile to the card. So my question is: Is it necessary to use the antenna?

If not, can you show me a blog o a publication about how to connect the nRF52 to a mobile by bluetooth?

Thank you so much!

If you only recently got this, why are you starting with an old version?

The latest version is 2.2.0:

Do you understand the basics of Bluetooth Mesh?

Nordic have some introductory notes in the above-mentioned SDK Documentation.

There is also the Standard documentation.

I found this helpful in defining the terminology & basic architecture of Bluetooth Mesh:

In particular, look at the "Proxy" feature - for connecting a non-mesh device to a mesh
