CHARACTERISTICS AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

[Jesus Rodriguez]

I am developing an IoT system in which I need to link multiple devices to a master, which is why my nRF52810 chip caught my attention so I am interested in knowing how many devices can be connected simultaneously to this chip, that is, for example, I have 20 devices collecting data or As actuators all of these must be connected to a single device so that the latter uploads the information to the cloud, in addition to that I have found it difficult to acquire information regarding the development of hardware and software with this chip could provide support in that aspect, that being my question I await your response a greeting.

Hello,

The nRF52810 is one of our low-cost alternatives in the nRF52 family and comes with significantly less memory compared to our more high-end devices. This constrain makes it less suitable for applications requiring multiple active links.  I would instead recommend starting development with the nRF52840 or nrf52833 (nRF52840 DK) to find out how much memory you will end up needing for your device.

Both the s140 and s132 Softdevice stacks (nordic Bluetooth stack) support up to 20 concurrent connections given that you have enough RAM available. 

Some additional links I think you may find useful:
