Bluetooth Low Energy basics?

[Stephan]

Hi everyone,

do you know of an explanation or some kind of tutorial to see how Bluetooth Low Energy works? For example some detailed information on those nrf51822 examples. What is definately needed for running BLE, and what is not. Like some deeper explanation of the BLE-API, some flowcharts or something like that?

I do have experience in µC-Programming - also with the CC-RF-series from TI. But I don't know where to get started with Nordic Semi......?:(

Regards to all of you, Stephan

Unfortunately, we don't yet have any general document that explains the things you're looking for. However, I'd recommend you to start with reading the S110 Programmer's Guide that is included in the Documentation subfolder of the SDK installation. From this it should be possible to get a basic understanding of the code flow of a BLE application, which again should make it possible to understand the applications in the SDK.

If there are any specific things that you find unclear, feel free to post a separate question here on the Developer Zone, so that we can clear it up. Also, we are working on a document to cover this use case, but it isn't quite ready yet.
