Feather of the Day: Adafruit Feather nRF52 Pro with myNewt Bootloader – nRF52832 #Bluetooth #Adafruit #Feather

The Adafruit Feather ecosystem is so rich with hardware diversity, we wanted to share them, one each day. Today is the Adafruit Feather nRF52 Pro with myNewt Bootloader – nRF52832!

The Adafruit Feather nRF52 Pro is Bluetooth Low Energy board for advanced projects and users who want to use a fully open-source Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 stack. It has a native Bluetooth chip, the nRF52832, as well as built-in USB Serial and battery charging!  We have other boards in the Feather family, check’em out here.

This is a special Feather – unlike the rest of the Feather family, this board is not for use with Arduino IDE. Instead, it is for use with Mynewt only! We have programmed it with the Mynewt bootloader and updated the hardware to add an SWD connector and an additional DFU button. If you want to use the nRF52 with Arduino IDE please check out the Bluefruit nRF52 Feather which works out-of-the-box with our Arduino board support package.

This Feather is for advanced users only, you will be interacting with the Mynewt RTOS rather than Arduino, and you cannot easily go back-and-forth without an SWD programmer.

We have quite a few BTLE-capable Feathers (it’s a popular protocol!) so check out our BT Feather guide for some comparison information.

At this point, the tools that Mynewt relies on are really aimed at running on a POSIX-type system (Linux, OS X, Mingw, etc.) Windows users can also make use of the Docker container available on the Mynewt website.

USE

The Adafruit nRF52 Pro Feather with Mynewt Guide provides all the details and use examples.

In stock! You can buy the Adafruit Feather nRF52 Pro with myNewt Bootloader – nRF52832 in the Adafruit shop.
