https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/927/is-nrf8002-is-backward-compatible-with-nrf8001Hi, I am curious what is the main difference between nRF8001 and nRF8002.One is for connectivity and the other is for proximity. However, I would like to develop an application about both proximity and connectivy. So I cant choose which one suits betteren-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 18 Nov 2013 17:03:54 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/4457?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 18 Nov 2013 17:03:54 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:ee00bb2f-2a1d-4f2e-8814-c45c4b25ad4fberkan<p>Thank you for the answer.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/4456?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:48:06 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:764b1b8a-096c-4609-8e32-a77f135ca111TIE Fighter<p>Your application will best work with the nRF8001. The nRF8002 does not include the UART Service and does not require any firmware, it only requires configuration from the nRFgo studio and no coding is required (this also means that you cannot change the firmware on the nRF8002).</p> <p>It would be simple for you to combine the Proximity and the nRF UART applications on the nRF8001. Remember that the nRF8001 requires an external mcu. The Arduino SDK for the nRF8001 can be used to get started on the nRF8001.
