How to turn a WaveShare nRF51-BLE400 into a discoverable beacon using mbed
Dependencies: mbed BLE_API nRF51822
Port for WaveShare BLE400 (chip nRF51 Aliexpress devboard)
Android Evothings good example for Nordic nRF51822-DK
As target for mbed-online used <Nordic nRF51822>
- (Large green board Nordic nRF51822-mKIT, actually deprecated on 01/03/2019)
Briefly: Handle via Evothings BLE Application 4 LEDs and 2 Buttons(via notify messages).

Happy coding!
