General PCB design guidelines for nRF51
When designing a PCB with nRF51, nRF51822 or nRF51422, there are some rules that should be followed in order to get a good working radio/system, with a maximized range.General rule The RF part of the schematic and layout should be a copy of our reference design. It means that not only the component values, but also the geometry, relative placement of the components with respect to each other, and the lengths of the transmission lines should be the same as in our reference design. The reference design for ...

nRF24LU1 TWI (I2C) Support?
Curious if there are any available bit-bang TWI routines available for the nRF24LU1?Thanks!-Tim...
I am implementing dual bank DFU on the PCA10001 board using the latest SDK (7.2.0) and S110(7.1.0). I am able to enter bootloader from my app as detailed here:http://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF51_SDK/doc/7.2.0/s110/html/a00066.htmlThe board is advertising dfuTarg, and I can connect and discover services through MCP. I then use the DFU button in MCP and choose the hex file for the application code I want to load onto the board (I have yet to try updating the SD or bootloader OTA). I small window pops up w...
