Arduino Nano 33 BLE with Headers [ABX00034]

I bought this along with a Notecarrier B in order to be able to run the UART version of the blues.io quickstart. Since both the Notecarrier and the Nano have pins already installed it was very easy to connect some jumper wires (which I already had) and thus get the assembly up and running in minutes.It worked precisely as expected.The only reason I took one star off is that it was pretty expensive in comparison to the (non 33 BLE) Chinese Nano clones.But it's a great board and I do recommend it.

I uploaded a sketch for the onboard acceleration sensor, and the board stopped responding, didn't appear in the dev environment or in the Windows device manager.I turns out that some sketches interfere with the onboard serial, and you have to double press the reset switch on the board to manually set it to programming mode.

These devices are so user friendly and easy to use and program. Love what they do for my projects.

Generally it's a nice board, but the BLE implementation is only partial. For example bonding (remembering a connection) isn't supported. If your BLE needs are simple then this might be fine, otherwise I'd suggest either a NodeMCU or a Nano with a BLE module instead.

Bought this for a teen Kid so he can start learning electronics. Problem is, if you want to program the device, you either need to load an Open Source tool on a Windows PC (free, as it is Open Source) or you need to pay 6.99 USD/Month to use their Chrome AppThe kid only has access to a Chromebook (no Windows PC), so he can't work on his own unless we pay the subscription. And the open source tool is not allowed by my work policies so I can't install it on my computer to work together.Very sad to see that Arduino has become just another business trying to get as much money as possible from users.

nice part fast service

We're using this device in school projects and have followed online course on tinyML on EdX by Vijay Reddi et al. This is an excellent platform for learning and application deployment. Have had no problems.

I thought I would try this out since it seemed handy to have the ble built in the microcontroller.But for me the deal breaker was the painfully slow compiling.You would be much better off getting an external ble module and wiring that up to a different microcontroller (which is what I ended up doing).If your requirements are to simply have a micro-controller (and a not very flexible one at that) that acts as a simple ble peripheral then it does what it claims to do, just be forewarned that compiling is really slow.cheers
