===
This branch is to provide BLE concurrent Central and Peripheral using Nordic SoftDevice S130 and also provides support for the Arduino IDE to compile nRF51822 firmware. This aims to provide fast prototyping and learning the IoT development using the Bluetooth Low Engergy (BLE) technology.
This board package add-on also provides BLE API for the nRF51822 SoC to act as BLE Central/Peripheral role designed for SoftDevice S130.
- Note: Unless you know how to do with this repository and want to contribute your code, otherwise, please use Arduino IDE's Boards Manager to install the board support package (e.g. for the RBL_nRF51822 and the BLE Nano boards).
Features
===
- Adds support for the Arduino IDE enables compiling firmwares for the Kontakt.io's Smart Beacon.
