Solder a six-pin right-angle header into the serial port to interface it with an FTDI Beefy 3.
The remaining two rows of vias are breadboard-compatible, so you can solder male pins into both
and have it straddle a breadboard.
Solder straight male headers into the pair of header rows to make the breakout breadboard-
compatible.
Or you can solder wire, female headers, or anything else your project requires into those remaining
holes.
Adding Arduino Compatibility
Arduino isn't the most powerful IDE out there, nor is it the most versatile, but it does make things
easy if you're just getting started with a new platform. Fortunately, there's an nRF52 Arduino board
addon available for just that purpose! This section details how to install the nRF52 Arduino libraries,
cores, and tools.
Download and Install the Board Package
The nRF52 Arduino cores are based on the great work by sandeepmistry. We've added nRF52832
Breakout Board compatibility to his board files, and added an extra tool to enable serial bootloading.
To install support for the nRF52 board in Arduino, begin by opening your Arduino preferences (File
> Preferences). Then copy and paste the URL below into the "Additional Board Manager URLs" text
box.
