peer to peer communication between 2 nrf8001?

[Amahoro]

Hello,

I want to build a system which will use 2 nrf8001 to communicate. 1 nrf8001 will act as a client by continuously transmitting its UUID and another one will act as a server waiting to receive the client's UUID and calculate the distance in which the client has transmitted from and execute a certain task. I am planing to use adafruit library of nrf8001.if there is another device i can use as a serve please let me know and i want to write all the code for both server and client in arduino.

I hope my explanation were clear if not please let me know and thanks in advance.

The nRF8001 is a peripheral device only. This means you need a central device as well. I would recommend looking at the Arduino primo or maybe a redbearlab ble nano, if arduino support is a requirement.

I found that Arduino primo use nRF52832 and redbearlab use nRF51822 so it means that i can use the nRF52 or nRF51 series for them they can work as a serve? Thank you for the answer.

Both the nRF52832 and the nRF51822 can work as a central device. But I'm not familiar with the arduino libraries, so I don't know what capabilities are there. Sorry for the inconvenience.
