Oh, sorry; you're looking for the PDF - that is, indeed, broken:

😞

However, if you put the filename - "nRF52_DK_User_Guide_v1.3.1.pdf" - into google, it will find you a copy:

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nRF52_DK_User_Guide_v1.3.1.pdf

It seems that the link in the Infocentre is using plain HTTP:

http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nRF52_DK_User_Guide_v1.3.1.pdf

but it needs to be HTTPS

Works for me:

If you go to the nRF52-DK page:

https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Development-Kits/nRF52-DK

Then click on 'Documentation':

that should also get you to the right place.

I had to set aside this project, now I am back. I ordered an nRF52 DK board (from Digikey). It came without support documentation. The Nordic website for the board ( https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fug_nrf52832_dk%2FUG%2Fnrf52_DK%2Fintro.html ) has a link to the User Guide, unfortunately the link gives an error. I contacted Digikey and they cannot help me either. Does a user guide exist? If so, please provide a path to it. Thank you!

The best approach to get started would be to get a Nordic nRF52 DK

That way you know that you have everything you need, properly configured & connected, well-known by people here for easy support, and with ready-to-go examples.

Get familiar with the product & tools on the DK - then you will be in a position to move on to the 3rd-party module.

You can't use Monitor Mode Debug on that.

Monitor Mode Debug is invaluable when working with the SoftDevice (Nordic's BLE protocol stack):

The built-in J-Link on the DK gives you an evaluation licence for MMD
