 I am about to build a BLE central to open a motorized garage door (runs on solar power) with a smartphone. I am going to design a PCB for this. 
 However, I am an absolute beginner with BLE and I think I need a little help to get this started</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:28:11 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/41887/getting-started-with-garage-door-project" /><item><title>RE: Getting started with garage door project</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/163168?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:28:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:de8a707b-0c74-4d66-8910-b4a4992f510d</guid><dc:creator>Hung Bui</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Dear customer,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Due to limited staff during the holiday period, we unfortunately can&amp;#39;t&amp;nbsp;handle your case before we get back to the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;normal&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;staff by the first week of January 2019. We are sorry indeed for the delay. We wish you a great holiday and a Happy New Year 2019.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best Regards,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From what I read it sounds like you want to build a BLE peripheral, not a central. The phone would be the central&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;in this case&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can use a static passkey based on the jumpers on your PCB. Just search for &amp;quot;static passkey&amp;quot; in the DevZone and you&amp;#39;ll find plenty of information.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t know if there are any examples close to what you need, but I&amp;#39;d advise you to get the BLE template project and build up on that. There&amp;#39;s rarely an example project that exactly fits your needs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t know what you mean with&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;using the&amp;nbsp;nRF52840 with an external MCU&amp;quot;. You can of course put both processors in the PCB and make them talk to one another over UART or so.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
