Communication with other sensors for nRF52832 and nRF52 DK

[Selina]

Hi, can nRF52 DK or nRF 52832 read data from other sensors, for example, accelerometer, gyroscope and heart rate sensor. Accelerometer and gyroscope would have an implemented MPU. If could, is there any requirements for the sensor choice?

Also, what would be the difference between nRF52DK and nRF52832? Would the button and light be used to control other parts and reflect results in the circuit other than this device along?

Thank you for your help in advance and looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi, nRF52DK will be a great solution to have the first prototype, sensors could be connected over UART, i2c, spi

Hi.

Yes, you can connect and read sensors using the nrf52832.

The difference between the nRF52832 and the nRF52DK is that the nRF52DK is a development kit with the nRF52832 SoC equipped.

You can take a look at the Thingy:52, which is a development kit with the nRF52832 SoC in addition to various sensors (gyroscope, accelerometer etc.).
