kitten playing with trackers okay, so, my tinkering with Bluetooth beacons/trackers begins

I bought a bunch to be able to play around and see which one its holder likes the most

kitten playing with trackers first contender: nrf51822 (like almost all the boards), with an incorporated SHT30 temperature and humidity sensor, using a CR2032 battery

this one is my favorite for the moment, both because of the neat small form factor, and because the seller provides the pinout for the board... except mine doesn't match any of the ones they provide..but I asked them, see if they can provide it.

kitten playing with trackers the second, another nrf51822, this time by itself, and this time using a CR2477 battery

this one... is not looking good. it's just too big, and that's with half the PCB empty. besides, the case has no way of attaching it to anything

it does have an upside though: I found the datasheet in the internet, with the pinout. not only that, it has 4 available digital I/O pins, which means: potential

kitten playing with trackers the third one, also nrf51822, this one is a bit weird... two button, and it's clearly a devboard embedded in a larger PCB. also CR2477

I found sort of a pinout, and it has plenty of gpio available... the case is weird though, no easy way of attaching it to anything, although it has some holes in it that could be used

weirdly shaped black PCB, with a chip in the middle marked N51822, and a button on its side
the PCB in its transparent case, in a similar weird shape
the pinout for the devboard. with the antenna on the top, and the chip facing the viewer, the left side is: ANT, P0.22, P0.23, P0.24, P0.00, P0.01, P0.02, P0.03, P0.04 and the right side: P0.18, SWCLK, SWDIO, P0.16, P0.15, P0.12, P0.08, GND, VCC

kitten playing with trackers I'm wondering which network will work better here, Google's or Apple's ​:neocat_think:​

kitten playing with trackers @kitten I was actually looking into whether I could reimplement the Google system. Might do that, there's code for that online:
