Let’s face it… One of the hardest things when working with BLE is simply getting started. Whether it’s the setup of the IDE, the configuration of the project, or the implementation the BLE application. I’ve been there… I’ve felt lost, not knowing where and how to start… This is especially true since I was trying to learn the technology itself (BLE) in addition to learning an SDK, platform, and IDE all at once! It just felt overwhelming and way too many things to learn at one time. Lately, I’ve been focusing on one platform/chipset: Nordic’s nRF52. This is due to…
In a previous blog post (The complete nRF Mac development tutorial), I went over how to set up your nRF development environment using the NetBeans IDE on a Mac. The beauty with NetBeans is that it’s cross-platform and customizable to fit your needs. I had been using NetBeans for over a decade, so I was very comfortable with customizing and modifying the different settings and configurations to make it work. Unfortunately, the setup was quite lengthy and involved many changes to make it work, especially with on-target debugging. Even then, it wouldn’t work quite as well as I would like it to. Not…
Introduction In this second post in the series on Bluetooth 5, we cover the new feature of improved 2x speed along with a general overview of throughput for a BLE application (the previous post went over Bluetooth 5’s new features in general and more specifically covered the increased advertisement capacity feature). First, we need to understand that the speeds advertised (1 Mbps and the new 2 Mbps) are only theoretical and are cut down when it comes down to application throughput. This is due to multiple reasons which we’ll go over in the next section. The Bluetooth 5 “2x speed”…
