connect nrf51822 to nrf8001

[ethan zheng]

I am using nrf51822 as a central device that is trying to connect a peripheral device nrf8001.

I want to build communication bewteen them and use nrf51822 to receive the advertisement data

from nrf8001. Is it possible to do that?

I tried the example BLE CentralTest with softdevice 130, but I didn't get any data back.

Of course it's possible. The whole point of Bluetooth is that it's a standard - so it's entirely independent of what hardware you use:

• The nrf8001 peripheral device will talk to any compliant central device - it neither knows nor cares anything of the Central's hardware implementation;

• The nrf51822 central device will talk to any compliant peripheral device - it neither knows nor cares anything of the Peripherals hardware implementation.
