## Description

If you have a custom PCB design and you'd like to add a little Bluetooth Low Energy, this module is ultra compact and easy to use. It contains a Nordic **nRF52832** chip that comes integrated with BLE radio as well as most of the supporting circuitry and even a chip antenna. The whole thing comes with FCC, CE and TELEC certifications.

**Please note!** **The module comes with a *blank* chip** - this is for people who are comfortable programming the chips themselves with a J-Link programmer and the Nordic SDK. We **don't** provide any firmware to go along with it!

This is the same module Adafruit use for the [Adafruit nRF52832 Feather](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-feather-nrf52-bluefruit-le-nrf52832.html) so [if you'd like to see a possible reference design for this module, check out the PCB files here!](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-nRF52-Bluefruit-Feather-PCB)

Of course the best way to program these chips is with the Nordic SDK. This chip also has [some basic Arduino support](https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-nRF5), [some micropython support](https://github.com/micropython/micropython/tree/master/ports/nrf), and is [well supported by MyNewt](https://mynewt.apache.org/latest/tutorials/blinky/nRF52.html). Either way you go (SDK/micropython/Arduino) you'll still need to solder this onto a PCB and load code via a SWD programmer.
