Firmware: Your hardware must be running this firmware compiled for your chosen module (PSOC or PROC)

- https://github.com/cypresssemiconductorco/PSoC-4-BLE/tree/master/100_Projects_in_100_Days/Day020_BLE_UART

- Use PSOC creator and compile and program the firmware to your dev board.

Nordic Requirements:

Hardware: nRF52 DK

Firmeware: Compile and Download the "ble_peripheral" project from the Nordic nRF5 SDK. You will need to download the Soft Devices to flash memory using the nRF Go Studio tool as well.

How to use:

2. Open a com terminal (such as Termite or Teraterm) on your computer. Make sure are connected to the USB com port on your BLE pioneer kit (hint: Windows users should look at device manager).
