Microcontrollers on boards using the nRF8001
What boards using the nRF8001 are built for
nRF8001: common questions
Where can I find a nRF8001 reference design?
Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the nRF8001. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the nRF8001 use?
Most are built on Microchip SAM (1) and STM32 (1).
How big is a typical board using the nRF8001?
The median is 56.8 × 49.6 mm, and 50% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the nRF8001?
By GitHub stars, ProgArm-Hardware by ProgArm, with 3 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the nRF8001 before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
