Training - New to Nordic APIs, BLE and ANT

c cook

Does anyone know of training that would help get a novice off the ground with the Nordic nRF51 devices? I'm new to Bluetooth and ANT, and while I have figured a few things out, I feel like I spend most of my time spinning my wheels.

I've done hardware design for years, with some C code development but I'm by no means a great C programmer (one of the reasons I'm struggling). I'm also new to Bluetooth development. I could really use some training that would get me started off on the right foot, and tie in all the different pieces I'm trying to come up to speed on.

If anyone knows of any training - Online, or in person that could help me out I would really appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks Clint

    Paul - Thanks for the suggestions. I've done all those things, and I've had some success. I'm having problems getting all the components to mesh together in my mind.

    Here's an example: I downloaded from GitHub the Ble_lbs example, I was able to modify the code to add two specific services. That code was running just fine. My company decided that including the ANT protocol was the right direction to go. I bought the nRF51422 eval board, I loaded it with the s110 stack and my firmware and it ran. Two weeks later I was asked to get a nRF51 board to run with my firmware. I can't get it to run (two weeks ago it was working). I tried, but I've been getting errors, when I try to access the s110 stack. I still have not tracked down why I'm getting the errors. Two weeks ago my firmware was running without any problems. I can't figure what has changed. It worked a couple of weeks ago, now it crashes. I'd be happy to pay for someone to walk me through what was going on, but right now, I'm just spinning my wheels.

    If there is anyone who feels confident in walking someone through the whole Nordic BLE, API and AND, using the Keil IDE, I'd gladly pay them. Right now I'm spinning my wheels, and even if I get it to work, I"m skeptical that I will understand why.

    My company would be willing to pay for me to travel and spend a few days(3-4 days) working with someone who not only understands the Nordic Stack(s), but would be willing to take a few days to help me come up to speed.
