Hi developers, We just released a BLE-Scanner App on the iTunes , and free for download. Alos, the app is an open source project for iOS (Swift and Objective-C): https://github.com/ucxpresso/ucxpresso.ios Our Web site: http://www.ucxpresso.net...

##Measuring humidity using TWI on nrf52## In this post I will explain how the nRF5x chip can be used to communicate with a sensor over TWI (I2C). To run this example extract the files to examples -> peripheral in the SDK for nrf52 and open the ...

Since Nordic Semiconductor released the S130 SoftDevice for our nRF51 ICs in early 2015, we have been working hard to make our Bluetooth low energy protocol stacks more feature rich and more configurable than ever before. The S130 now does everythin...

In this blogpost we will demonstrate the usage of Keils integrated command line functionality. We will start nrfjprog through Keil bindings in order to erase our chip and program SoftDevices. nrfjprog is a command line tool that Nordic provides, whi...

Bluetooth LE is a fantastic technology for battery powered, Internet of Things devices. However, most dev kits require tethering to a smartphone, limiting the range and usefulness to only when the user is nearby. Bluz is a new dev kit that solves th...

Serial DFU Procedure and Tips Hi, Some of you may need to use Serial DFU to transfer firmware from external MCU or PC. So I am posting this blog to might help saving your time to debug and development. Serial DFU Sequence Basic Serial DFU Se...

If you have bookmarked pages in our Infocenter, you might have noticed that many of those links don't work anymore. This is due to major changes to the backend of the Infocenter structure that will make it easier for us to maintain the documentation ...

Here is a demo of a small graphics engine I designed that allows me to embark moving pictures on a nRF52832 directly in code with a reasonable occupied memory size (i can do RLE or LZ4 compression). The screen Newhaven Display (NHD-C12864A1Z-FSRGB-F...

We are introducing a webcast series to stimulate more interaction with you, Devzone users. Joining a webcast, you’ll get to watch live technical presentations and submit your own questions for the Q&A session immediately following the presentati...

I’m experimenting with an alternative library approach to implement Bluetooth LE device firmware (named Bluetoe). This already works, but is still highly experimental. I wrote a blog article to introduce the library by showing how easy it is,...

Hi all, I'm working on a blog explaining from scratch how to develop a BLE application with nRF518122 chip. Step by step, I explain the different aspects of the embedded system development in a GCC environment (toolchain, makefiles, linkerscript and...
