This tutorial shows how to use the mbed framework to develop applications for Nordic nRF51 devices. Before you begin, install VisualGDB 5.1 or later.
Start Visual Studio and open the VisualGDB Embedded Project Wizard: and Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA) using GPIO pins. This was introduced in S132 version 2.0.0-7.alpha.
In the nRF51 there was an option to use t...
The purpose of this blog is to provide a step by step guide to help a developer, starting off with the Nordic Semiconductor nRF51 DK, to get the necessary tools installed and get the software (SW) development environment setup so that the user can st...
Hi all,
I implemented a simple multilink NUS central based on s130 for nrf51 chip-set. It means that this NUS central can connect to several peripherals simultaneously and send data to each one of them by selecting connection index. It is designed a...
This tutorial will take less than 15 minutes.

Never lose a BLE connection when debugging your applications again! This technique will also be useful for any application using the PWM peripheral and many others as well!
Monitor mode deb...
As you start developing with the nRF5 series chips, SoftDevices, and SDKs, it's very useful to learn how errors can be discovered (and preferrably recovered from). This can be detecting something as simple as using invalid parameters to a function, o...
Hi all,
I developed an iBeacon application example with nrf51 chip-set. The firmware has been developed on top of softdevice s110 and Nordic SDK running on a nrf51 PCA10028 Dev. Kit. I used an arm-eabi-none GCC toolchain and JLink under Ubuntu.

One SDK for nRF5x SoC
The latest SDK is now available in alpha version for nRF51 and nRF52 SoC. A big change with this SDK is that we have merged the SDK for both nRF5x SoCs into one SDK. This will hopefully make development simpler and more straigh...
GPS for Bluetooth Smart
In 2014 I've developed a Bluetooth Smart apps couple to transmit and receive a GPS location and speed with this nice technology.
The apps are called LE GPS (transmitter, peripheral role) and LE GPS Rec (receiver, central rol...

Check the infocenter explanation
There are lots of improvements in nRF52 compared to nRF51. Features that are the same in both products are not mentioned here, only changes worth mentioning will be described. It is expected that you have prior knowl...
It is exciting to see that the Bluetooth SIG officially announced a preview of its technology roadmap for 2016[1]. This will enable new applications and innovative products with Bluetooth Smart in the future that take advantage of the benefits of lo...
An automatic radio test was developed based on Enhanced Shockburst (ESB), which works for
all the nRF Series Chips including, nRF24LE1, nRF24LU1P, nRF51x22, as well as nRF52832. Source code is available as attached.
