NRF52832 PCB Design/Breakout Board

[andrea05256]

Hi,

I am working on a prototype which I have almost completed, I am using this NRF52832 chip, using BLE and creating a mesh network, where different nodes are communicating with each other.

So, each node is independent, has its own sensors and is powered up with USB. Now thing is, I want to create its PCB board, PCB design of nodes, as they are replicas of each other.

I have searched online and found this design: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Minimum_system_development_board_nrf52832.html But as you can see its quite big, I want a smaller one, around the size of Arduino Nano, means its width should be maximum of the size of this NRF52832 chip.

So, any help in this regard, if you could provide me a PCB design which I could modify, as I need to add sensors. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

We only have designs which integrates the IC directly on the board, the design you are linking to is using a 3rd part module.
Most modules are easy to use, as they have everything integrated onto the module. A PCB using a module does in most cases only need to supply VDD and connect the GPIO lines needed.

We have a list of 3rd party modules, some of the modules are narrower, which will allow for a smaller PCB.

 

Best regards,
