NRF 51822 beginner

Hello, I have just bought an NRF51822-EK to familiarize myself with the micro-controller for a potential future job. Admittedly I feel like I am completely in over my head. I have written code in C for a PIC-18f4520 a few years ago, and currently write a lot of code in Matlab for my job. Where is a good place to start for learning how to program this new microcontroller? The first night I was able to play with the examples utilizing the push buttons and LED's but I don't know how to set up/ access the ADC or many of the other features. Thank you for your time and patience for someone new!

  • Second the recommendation for Robin (it's Robin, not Robert) Heydon's book.

    If you've come from a PIC, it would be worth you getting used to the concepts of event-based architecture, callbacks, maybe even RTOS. You've no doubt noticed that there's a little more in the way of SDK calls versus writing for completely bare metal -- both in terms of CMSIS and Nrodic's own SDK.

    The good news is you probably don't need to read any of the Cortex-specific tomes ;)
