Fairly simple remote control for smart phone app.

JohnBrown

I am hoping to develop a device that works as a remote control for a smart phone app. There will be at least 5 buttons, and as the button presses will be infrequent, I am hoping to be able to run the device from a coin cell. The smartphone app only needs to be notified when a button is pressed. Which of the examples, if any, would make the best starting point for such a project?

    There are two different examples in the nRF51 SDK with HID communication. They might be useful for you. There are other examples that show button pushes and BLE communication as well, for example the proximity example ble_app_proximity should be a good place to start.

    I don't know what you have available on the phone side, but there are a few apps from Nordic available with source code. I usually ends up with the nRFtoolbox, but this is a complicated place to start with regard to the amount of code. You might have better use of the nRF Proximity app instead.
