nRF 51 DK and Arduino shield

[GNoB]

hello,

I want to connect Arduino shield with heart-rate sensor to my nRF 51 DK board. then i have to receive sensor data continually from the sensor.

my plan is transferring this data from my DK to my raspberry pi using as a edge router.

which SDK gives me to test receiving data from arduino based sensor?? and is it possible?

here is my photo

Hi,

First off you will need to establish the connection to your sensor, I am unsure which sensor it is that you are using. The shield you are using should have some pinout, figure out which pins are connected where, and then set up your code to interface with these pins. Then you need to setup the protocol in your code, to point you in the right direction here we would need more information about your device.

To connect the development kit via bluetooth there are a couple of options, you could for example use the steps described in the BLE over IPv6 blogpost. If you want a simpler solution you can use a nRF51 dongle with code that will relay information recieved over BLE to UART, and then you can read the information from the relevant dev/tty catalog on the RPi. Have a look a this tutorial which explains the UART over BLE example.

Hopefully this answers your question, best regards,

Øyvind
