Bluetooth nRF52840 Micro Development Kit
The nRF52840-MDK is a versatile and user-friendly IoT hardware platform designed to support multiple wireless technologies, including Bluetooth 5, Bluetooth Mesh, Thread, IEEE 802.15.4, ANT, and 2.4 GHz proprietary applications. It is powered by the nRF52840 System-on-Chip (SoC) and includes an embedded debugger known as DAPLink.
Package Includes:
1 x Bluetooth nRF52840 Micro Development Kit
DAPLink provides USB drag-and-drop programming, a virtual COM port for communication, and a CMSIS-DAP interface for debugging. The kit also includes a Microchip USB 2.0 Hi-Speed hub with two downstream ports: one for DAPLink and one for the nRF52840 USB device controller. Additional features include ultra-low-power 64-Mb QSPI FLASH memory, a programmable user button, an RGB LED, and up to 24 GPIOs. Antenna selection is also available for flexible custom applications.
