M4+ BLE UART Friend V.S. Adafruit nRF52840

Post by zeusspade »

Would coding the bluetooth portion for a Feather M4 with Bluefruit UART (default pins etc) be pretty much the same as for nRF52840? On CircuitPython? I imagine they'd use the same modules?

In other words, does nRF52840 use the same process for bluetooth as the Bluefruit UART?

Used as peripheral only.

The Feather M4 w/Bluefruit UART code won't know anything about BLE. It'll just normal UART.

The nRF will need to manage BLE in addition to the serial service.

So, the two will have different code. (If both had native BLE, then it'd be the same.)
