Just need the basic chip & board

[phishyatl]

I'm interested in using the chip and a very simple board. No buttons, no humidity or motion sensors, just the beacon (like a heartbeat). I'm trying to keep the price down, so can anyone point me to a board that uses the nRF51822 but without the frills. Basically, I want the chip with a battery to power it.

(obviously I'm a newbie, please be gentle). :)

You can try buying basic boards from chineese suppliers (ebay, aliexpress?). Consider that they probably sell OLD revision of chips

Here is one with all pins routed out. You have access to all i/o pins of the chip with this module.
