Reg : BLE tracking using nRF51822

[Chaithra]

Hi,

We want to develop a tracking system using nRF51822 for that we need clarifications for the below,

Can we make BT connection as shown below fig?

Do we need to include any other accessories?

Awaiting for your reply.

Regards,

Hi,

Is the link that you've sketched wireless? It's fully possible to have a wireless link between a nRF51822 and a Mobil phone by using BLE. We even have examples in the SDK that you can flash to a nRF51 DK and test with a mobile phone.

regards

Jared

EDIT: Ah, missed the sentence with BT ;) The answer is YES, it's fully possible.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

Can I get some reference schematics for BLE tracking using nRF chips?

Hi Chaithra

For your new design you should look at nRF52XXX series which is BLE 5.0 and has latest features.

nRF51xxx is old Genration supporting BLE4.2 and is also commercially costlier than nRF52xxx

Since you feel nRf51822 suits you , so you should look at nRF52810 or nRF52832, If you share your detailed specs to my email Id , i will suggest you the best suitable part. For Reference its all available in below links , Pls check https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Low-power-short-range-wireless/nRF52810/Download#infotabs
