Hi,

We're working on making some more tutorials, we have some thoughts on what we want to do, but we would really like your input. After all it's you, the user, who will benefit from this material.

What do you find unclear, difficult or would like a more thorough walk-through on?

Best regards,

Øyvind

A quick tutorial on integrating the nRF51/52 into a real time game engine such as Unity and/or Unreal would be great — specifically for the advertising industry: interactive installations, tech art, PR stunts etc, but also for tech hobbyists. Currently, most of the advertising agencies I collaborated with use Arduino + HC-05/06 as it's the only combo that has tutorials, video demos and plugins for Unity integration.

How do they communicate PC with arduino? By UART or what?

But, surely, this has nothing to do with any specific BT chip: stuff like Unity and/or Unreal just sees the platform's generic BLE API - ie, GATT profiles, etc?

And, as already noted, the HC-05/06 is "classic" bluetooth - not BLE.

That is what i was also going to point out - if there is some integration between Unity-UART-Arduino, I see no reason why this would not work with nRF51/52, but what should be done next is probably totally up to developer - i don't know what that kind of tutorial should cover, communication by uart, driving leds or what? o_O

You communicate using serial port. There is a unity plugin that I guess helped allot with the adoption of the HC series in the Unity dev community. Link here: www.assetstore.unity3d.com/.../ Sorry I can't be of more help, I've just started learning the ropes of wireless communication protocols.
