Trying to set up nRF52832, but unsure of choice of SDK and IDE.

Hello!

I am completely new to development with the nRF52DK.

Today I spent the entire day trying to set up the IDE and enviroment to make my first application, but that proved to me more of a challenge than I initially thought. First of all, what is the difference of using the nRF5 SKD versus the nRF connect sdk's? I found it way easier to set up with the nRF connect using visual studio, but I couldn't get further from there.

Second of all. What is the recommended IDE to be used? At first I tried segger ES, but after I saw visual studio code was an option I pursued that in stead. But from all the documentation I could find, none of it proved helpful to make anything work. I tried to make an LED light up using GPIO, but I couldn't find where it was documented what to include and use to make it work.

That brings me to the third question. Where do you find the correct documentation for working with the different libraries? I tried the documentation page for Nordic Semiconductor but I couldn't find any information on how anything is structured and what to include and what parameters to use. They say they recommend using the latest sdk, but is there enough documentation for it?

Sorry if this post is messy, but honestly I'm not sure where to start to get learning, so I don't really know exactly what I am asking yet. All the documentations say so many different things and shows different ways of doing stuff.

TL;DR

How do I get started developing!

Thank you for any replies.
