If you've tried using the nRF51822 SDK with the BLE Nano (after following the RedBearLab guide) you may have come to a dead end.
Even the simplest examples didn't work for me. I assumed I had a dead Nano (despite the upload process seeming to work fine).
The reason turned out to be that the latest SDK versions assume you have a nRF51822 chip with 32KB of RAM rather than the 16KB that the nRF51822 on the Nano has.
James Willcox explains this in a post to the RedBearLab BLE Nano support forum.
Hi all --
Does anyone know someone who can make high quality cables?
I need to make an adapter from a JST-PH 2-pin male connector to a two pin 0.1" female header connector.
To hack up something like this would be trivial, but I need them for a situation where they should look near perfect - for this I came up with:
When using the C++ Gpio method isr or the C function mraa_gpio_isr it's important to know that the passed in function will be called in the context of a low level interrupt.
As such it should be coded very carefully, and typically do as little as possible, in order not to interfere with the environment that has been interrupted.
When using the isr method in Javascript do we have to worry about this kind of thing?
The answer is no, as the logic for the Javascript wrappers ensures that the callback function passed to isr is invoked from the normal Node.js event loop.
