Note
This wiki pages for the VNG VBLUno51 board which is upgraded version from the first version - VBLUno - (VBLUno v1). If you want to refer documents for VBLUno v1 board, please access to VBLUno_v1 on Github
The VBLUno board versions
After a time introducing the VBLUno development board to community, VBLUno board has helped developers quickly access Bluetooth Low Energy technology for developing Internet of Things applications.
VNGIoTLab has received many comments on the advantages of the first VBLUno version such as:
-
Support many software platforms:
- Nordic SDK
- Arduino
- mbed-OS
- Mynewt-OS
- RIOT-OS
- …
-
Using nRF51822 microcontroller (ARM Cortex-M0) with BLE interface on chip, help users acces easy and master this technology.
-
Stable, ultra low power consumption when communicating with the Smartphone via Bluetooth Low Energy.
-
There are many tutorials for performing BLE communication examples such as: Heart Rate Monitor, Heath Thermometer, iBeacons, control a robot via BLE, …
In addition to the above advantages, the first version of VBLUno still exist shortcomings such as: not integrating an interface that allows loading and debugging easily. With the first version, for easy loading / debugging, users need to add the CMSIS-DAP module. It is a little confusing for the user.
With the spirit of listening from the community, we have upgraded the VBLUno to 2.0 version, called VBLUno51, essentially integrating the CMSIS-DAP module (DAPLink) on VBLUno circuit and some other important improvements related to power and peripherals. Thus, loading the program for the VBLUno51 board will be much easier, you can see the Getting started entry to know how to load the program for VBLUno51.
VBLUno51 = VBLUno 1.0 + DAPLink interface; and more…
