The Nordic Semiconductor nRF51-DK, an mbed enabled micro-controller is getting a lot of attention from us lately – we first showed you how to get started with mbed and how to connect an Arduino Ethernet Shield to give the device internet connectivity. It was only a matter of time before we started to explore the Bluetooth Smart (BLE) capabilities of … Read More
How to use an Arduino Ethernet Shield with the Nordic Semiconductor nRF51-DK
The Nordic Semiconductor nRF51 Developer Kit, an mbed.org enabled micro-controller, is the first of its kind from Nordic Semiconductor that is compatible with the Arduino UNO rev3 hardware standard – however it lacks any form of on-board Ethernet connectivity. It was obvious for us and our hands-on tendencies to figure out exactly how to utilise the Arduino Ethernet Shield and … Read More
Making a mobile app in JavaScript for the Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822 Evaluation Kit
We have looked into the Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF51822-EK Evaluation Kit by making a simple mobile JavaScript app for Android and iOS mobile devices where we control an LED on the board over BLE. The example can be easily modified, serving as a template or starting point for other IoT applications. This tutorial assumes that you are already somewhat familiar with … Read More
