nrf51422 + nrf8001 or nrf51922 Hardware Question

[Nils Minor]

Hi, i need some help by selecting the right Hardware for a new Project. I want to build mesh network so i think ANT is the right Protokoll for me, with BLE i can't build such a network. I also need an small processor in the application thats why i prefer to use the nrf51422 becouse i have ant + processor. And the main job of the application is to use ant to communicate with each other.

But i also needs a bridge between Bluetooth, an it is possible that i need bluetooth and ant at the same time.

First i thought i could use nrf51922 but i don't think that i can use ant and BLE at the same time. would it bee possible for me that i can use a nrf51422 for ant + nrf8001 for BLE ?

Thank you :)

Now the nrf51422 has the S310 softdevice, this no longer applies isn't it?

[Stefan Birnir Sverrisson]

Yes, you are right.

The nRF51922 is discontinued and will not go into production. The nRF51422 Rev 3.0.0 development kit is its successor which you can flash the latest softdevices, S210, S310 or even S110 and S120 BLE stacks also.

If you want to develop ANT+BLE, get the nRF51422 Rev 3.0.0 development kit. To make sure you purchase the right kit, and not the older nRF51422 kit with preprogrammed S210, take a look at this thread.
