How to program nrf51422

[ralph]

I recently bought a nrf51DK. It comes with 5 sample pieces of the nrf51422 IC.

My question would be how to program this since the IC on the dev kit is not changeable? Or what uses would I have for these 5 pieces.

I already have my desired code and it is working now. My next step now should be to convert it to a module for actual production.

I never quite understood why the devkits come with 5 sample pieces and I don't know how many people really find a use for them. The only thing you can do with them is mount them on a custom designed board for your product prototype, or get whoever builds your prototype board to mount it, and all the other components. I would think the cost of mailing whoever that is the little strip of 5 chips in order for them to use them is pretty equivalent to having them source the chips locally and do it.

So sounds like your next job is designing a prototype board and having it built.

I see. The issue with the IC though is the pins are small so that they do not plug normally into an arduino or a breadboard.

Thank you very much for your reply. Would have to ask my supplier to build and program the IC for me then.
