Excellent for BLE Mesh projects
This board made prototyping my smart home sensors incredibly easy. The Nordic SDK is robust and the documentation is clear.

Great hardware, steep learning curve
The hardware quality is top notch. However, if you are new to embedded systems, the initial setup might take some time.

Solid development kit
Good value for the features provided. The NFC antenna works well for pairing applications. Wish it had more user buttons.
Q: Is NFC functionality ready out of the box?
A: Yes, the NFC antenna is integrated on the PCB. You just need to enable the NFC library in your firmware configuration.
Q: Is this compatible with the Arduino IDE?
A: Yes, you can use the nRF52 Arduino core, though Nordic nRF Connect SDK is recommended for full feature access.
Q: What debugger is integrated on the board?
A: It features an integrated SEGGER J-Link OB debugger, so no external probe is required for flashing or debugging.
Q: Does it come with an external antenna?
A: The board includes a PCB antenna, but there is also a U.FL connector for attaching an external antenna if needed.
Q: Can I power this via USB only?
A: Yes, the board can be powered directly via the micro-USB port for development purposes without an external battery.
