The application supports a wide range of radio tests from simple output power tests, to more advanced tests such as sensitivity and link performance. Each test can be easily configured by the designer to match specific application requirements. nRFgo radio modules plugged into the motherboard will be automatically detected and Programming and hardware debug over USB nRFProbe is a hardware debug solution specifically designed for Nordic radios with embedded microcontrollers. The motherboard has built in support for nRFProbe enabling hardware debugging over the USB interface with no requirement for a special dongle. configured by the application. nRFgo Studio Screenshot nRFgo Display extension module The Display extension module enables easy prototyping of applications with smaller displays. It also enables the motherboard to be controlled/configured and display status information when not connected to the PC. The nRFgo Display extension module includes a 16 x 2 alphanumeric display, a display controller, a small joystick and a joystick controller. Both the display and the joystick offer simple 2-wire interfaces for quick prototyping. The 2-wire display interface accepts standard HD44780 commands. nRFgo Display module Product content About Nordic Semiconductor ASA Ultra low power RF silicon solutions Nordic Semiconductor is a fabless semiconductor company specializing in ultra low power short-range wireless communication.
