New to bluetooth as a whole (High schooler student who's interested in learning bluetooth)

So I'm completely new to bluetooth and I've been trying to set up the nrf52 dk pc 10040, but I can't seem to find any recent tutorials to set it up and I don't know where to start. I tried following the steps on the nordic website, however nothing is happening and it seems that the led doesn't light up. If anyone could point me in the correct direction to start setting up the nrf52 that would be great.

Thank you!

  • That's strange. Have you programmed, or made any attempts to program the chip beforehand? Do you have any casing on your phone which might affect the NFC capabilities?

    Either way, this isn't vital for your future as a microcontroller developer. What I suggest you do, is that you get started by watching the video tutorials that were linked earlier, download Segger Embedded Studio which is free for anyone with a Nordic Development Kit. Download the S132 SoftDevice and SDK v. 15.3 here. And you could start off with something like the custom BLE service example, which is a pretty extensive tutorial written by one of my co-workers.

    Best regards,
