Hi!
Cool idea.
As i'm from the espressif sphere, i had to install everything. I did not tested any of the hardware communication yet, but this is for another night.
I'm a GNU/Linux guy, so i'm using a Debian stretch machine.
Software
I followed this guide to install the tools:
https://gustavovelascoh.wordpress.com/20...-on-linux/
Which was quite nice and everything was working fine so far. I was able to compile one of the nordic SDK examples, i guess this is a good sign.
Hardware
Now begins the hardware setup part. As i said, i did not made any test yet, but i did my standard little setup, hoping my cheap STLink will work as attended.
The devkit is tiny and "watch-sized". So first, i drilled a small hole on the back of the devkit (pictures will soon be added) to pass some 0.3mm enamel wires, which i soldered on the programming pins. On the other side of the 4 wires, i soldered a handy connector, ready to be abused.
Obviously, you have to keep track on which wire goes where.
A tiny piece of tape should keep the wires from being pulled and tugged to hard.
This kind of enamel wire can be sourced from motors, or transformers.
I guess i will attach the connector somewhere neat. I'll keep sharing what's happening here.
