Hi Sergii

awneil is absolutely correct. In order to use the nRF52810 as a central, you'll need to use the S132 SoftDevice which takes up quite a lot of the nRF52810's flash memory. Its low memory does not make it very suitable for large/complicated applications, and using it as a central requires a rather bareboned central application, as S132 takes up so much of the device's flash memory.

Best regards,

Simon

You can:

but it's not (necessarily) a great idea!

The whole point of the nRF52810 is that it is a cheap, reduced-memory device for simple applications - so not a great choice as a Central.
