floe / bleperipheralobserver

An Arduino library for creating custom BLE peripherals and observers with Nordic Semiconductor's nR51822.

Arduino BLEPeripheral

An Arduino library for creating custom BLE peripherals and observers with Nordic Semiconductor's nR51822.

This is heavily based on @sandeepmistry's arduino-BLEPeripheral library. This fork adds support for the observer role (i.e. receiving Bluetooth advertisements), but consequently can't support the nRF8001 anymore.

Compatible Hardware

Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822

• RedBearLab with Arduino Add-on
  • nRF51822
  • BLE Nano
• RFduino with Arduino Add-on

WARNING: Adafruit nRF51 boards are NOT compatible with this library, this includes the Bluefruit LE UART Friend, Bluefruit LE SPI Friend, Bluefruit LE Shield, Flora Wearable Bluefruit LE Module, Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE, and Feather M0 Bluefruit LE.

Nordic Semiconductor nRF51 or nRF52 based boards

• Various, see arduino-nRF5 supported boards via nRF5 Arduino Add-on
