Adafruit Feather nRF52832 Bluefruit LE

Post by xelus »

Can the nRF52832 act as a replacement/alternative to the Bluefruit SPI/UART LE friend?

I would like to be able to act as a USUB HID bridge between the main controller and computer.

The nRF52832 uses an external USB-to-Serial converter, so it can't work as any other HID category.

The BLE SPI and UART Friends aren't interfaces to a computer's USB host though. They're just BLE modules that talk to a microcontroller using SPI or Serial.

If you already have either of those, you can connect it to a microcontroller that handles USB internally.. even a Trinket M0 would work:

If you want a single device that can handle BLE and do USB HID, take a look at the nRF52840:
