Solid performance for evaluation
We used several of these for evaluating Zigbee protocols in our lab. They are reliable and the build quality is good. The only reason for 4 stars is the lack of an included enclosure.

Easy to start with BLE
As someone new to Bluetooth Low Energy, this kit made learning easy. The example codes provided by Waveshare worked out of the box. I built a simple sensor transmitter in an afternoon.

Best value nRF52840 board
Compared to other development kits on the market, this offers the best price-to-performance ratio. The USB-C connector is a nice modern touch, and the onboard LED indicators are helpful for debugging.

Perfect for IoT Prototyping
This board is exactly what I needed for my smart home project. The Bluetooth 5.0 range is impressive, and setting it up with the Arduino IDE was seamless. Highly recommended for beginners and pros alike.

Excellent compatibility with Raspberry Pi
I connected this directly to my Raspberry Pi 4 for a gateway project. The UART communication is stable, and the power consumption is very low. It's a robust module for industrial control learning.

Great hardware, documentation could be better
The nRF52840 chip performs flawlessly. I successfully flashed a Thread network stack on it. My only gripe is that some of the specific pinout diagrams in the wiki were slightly outdated, but community forums helped clarify.
Q: Is the Nordic nRF Connect SDK compatible with this module?
A: Absolutely. Since it uses the standard nRF52840 SoC, it is fully compatible with the Nordic nRF Connect SDK, Zephyr RTOS, and Arduino core for nRF52.
Q: What debugger interface does this use?
A: The board exposes a SWD (Serial Wire Debug) interface header, which is compatible with J-Link and other standard ARM debuggers.
Q: Can I power this board directly from a 5V Raspberry Pi GPIO pin?
A: While the logic level is 3.3V, the board has a voltage regulator. You can typically power it via the 5V pin if the regulator supports it, but we recommend checking the specific schematic or powering via USB for stability.
Q: Does this board support Over-The-Air (OTA) updates?
A: Yes, the nRF52840 supports DFU (Device Firmware Update) over Bluetooth LE and via USB, allowing for easy OTA updates.
Q: Does it come with an external antenna connector?
A: This specific model utilizes an onboard PCB antenna for compactness. It does not have a U.FL connector for an external antenna.
