Wireless Technology support needed for my wearable design

[MCU bomber]

Hello Team,
I am a student majorly interested in wearable designing and manufacturing field. Recently I have designed a small wearable PCB which barely contains components like

ATMega328p-MU, ADXL335 Accelerometer and some passive components. While I am searching for the wireless connectivities to my wearable I came across astonishing collection of dedicated wireless technologies to wearables by NoricSemi. So, I would like to know whether I could get any help regarding how and what can components I could use to interface with my MCU and perform wireless data transfer.

The Nordic nRF52 series chips are what's called "System-on-Chip" (SoC) - meaning you get the complete system of microntroller and radio on one chip.

So you don't need any separate microcontroller.

Thanks for that instant reply awneil....As I have referred the nRF52832 chip, it is mentioned that it comes with an ARM-COrtex M4 chip.....but I barely know ARM programming, I am good with Arduino like MCU's. Sorry for very basic questions but I really can't work with ARM Cortex MCU, I started learning about ARM MCU's in the recent days only.

So, are there any ways to get me to interface the nRF devices with my design?

You said you're a student - the whole point of a student is to learn!

You said you're "majorly interested in wearable" - I think you'll find that 98% of wearable design is based on ARM Cortex in one form or another.

ARM Cortex is not essentially different from any other microcontroller.

So you really need to cover those basics first before moving on to advanced topics like BLE and wearable applications!

"Arduino" is not an MCU.

There are Arduino versions on ARM Cortex MCUs.

I believe that there is an Arduino version for nRF52, but that's a 3rd-party thing - nothing to do with Nordic.

Yeah..you're right...whole point of a student is to learn...But I am right now into a project where I am designing the wearable....So, I am little bit constrained with time. Sorry for that mistake "Arduino is not an MCU", that's right it is a company. I meant to say that I am okay with AVR based MCU's as of now.
