NRF51-Dongle for sniffing nrf52xx

[Artucas]

Hello, i wanted to ask if NRF51 Dongle NRF51-Dongle is capable of sniffing packets from NRF52xx parts? If yes, what are the limitations, because i think that nrf52xx parts are bluetooth 5, correct me if i am wrong, and nr51 is older, bluetooth low energy. Thanks for the answer.

Hello,

"bluetooth 5" is buzzword not saying much. Until your nRF52 (or any other device) stays with air-speed and packet structure of BT4.0-4.2 (1Mbps) it can be listened by Nordic sniffer. This depends on particular connection (if both peers support optional BT5 features and agree on using them then you have problem).
