You can also use the nRF51. The nRF8002 does not require any software programming , while the nRF51 is flexible. I suggest you do a few experiments to understand which one fits your needs.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/15010?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 18 Dec 2014 12:05:27 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:c883dd4e-5124-4454-ba71-692bdc84d72dHarshil<p>So will I need to buy the development kit in order to configure the chip? Also, can you guide me regarding which chip will be apt for my project, nRF51822 or nRF8002?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/15009?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 27 Oct 2014 10:38:23 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:16bd4e52-6052-4302-9c76-e5781b72002eDavid Edwin<p>The nRF8002 chip can be used as a tag, once you have configured the nRF8002, it can be used to estimate the distance between the tag and the phone.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
