I'm getting started with BLE on nordic nrf52. Can anyone recommend a good starter example? Which softdevice should I put on the nrf?

Hello Dan,

there are some nice examples online: https://os.mbed.com/teams/mbed-os-examples/code/?page=3 which use the latest release of mbed-os which is using SDK14.2, softdevice s132_nrf52_5.0.0. The examples will take care of the softdevice automatically.

You can start with ble-LED, LEDBlinker, ble-HeartRate

The examples provide also really nice instructions on how to interact with them over a mobile phone (e.g. https://os.mbed.com/teams/mbed-os-examples/code/mbed-os-example-ble-HeartRate/ )

Thanks. I got the thermometer to work, but HRM didn't. I'll start a separate forum for that issue.
