1 min read

In this video, Jared discusses how to add Bluetooth to an nRF9160 based project using Zephyr. He explains that while the nRF9160 chip does not have built-in Bluetooth, Zephyr allows users to add on Bluetooth functionality through extra hardware and configuration. Jared goes through the steps of configuring the low power UART implementation, setting up the UART interface, and mapping the pins correctly. He also mentions the potential issues that can arise if nRF9160 and nRF52 chips become out of sync. Jared concludes by highlighting the benefits of using Bluetooth on the nRF9160 and encourages viewers to leave comments or suggestions for future topics.
