nRF8001 Bluefruit LE Breakout: is it possibile to use as SPI

Post by mariomolinara »

Hi all,

in my class (at University of Cassino, Italy) I need to realize a connection between an Android device (BLE capable) and a self made chip able to work as a SPI slave.

Is it possibile to configure nRF8001 Bluefruit as an SPI master?

My configuration is:

Android device 4.3 <-------- BLE ------> nRF8001 Bluefruit (SPI slave) <----- SPI ------> our chip (SPI slave)

The nRF8001 won't do anything by itself. You must have a microcontroller to configure and operate the nRF8001.
Add a microcontroller to your system. Then you can have both the nRF8001 and the custom board operating as SPI slaves.
