Hardware Pioneers has teamed up with Nordic Semiconductor again to show you how to use the newly released nRF Mesh mobile app for mesh setup and configuration, and how to expand upon the examples in the mesh SDK to add user defined behaviour.

The nRF Mesh apps enables you to provision, configure and control Bluetooth mesh networks. They demonstrate a subset of the capabilities of the nRF Mesh open source libraries. Nordic has created these apps to bring the natural benefits of using a smart phone in Bluetooth mesh setup and control activities. Provision in devices with authentication and use the generic interface to configure the nodes.

About the platform and the hosting company

About the nRF5 SDK for Mesh
The nRF5 SDK for Mesh is Nordic Semiconductor's implementation of the Bluetooth Mesh. It allows applications to utilize the features provided by the Bluetooth Mesh when running on Nordic's nRF5 Series chips.

About the nRF52 Series
The nRF52 series is the latest short range wireless SoC from Nordic. Based on the ARM Cortex M4 MCU, and with a host of analog and digital interfaces, these devices form a good starting point for low power, single chip RF applications.

About Nordic Semiconductor
Nordic Semiconductor is the #1 provider of low power wireless solutions with a sustained market share of more than 40% in Bluetooth® Low Energy chipsets. The company is headquartered in Norway, and has a global footprint in IoT solutions based on several technologies also including ANT, IEEE 802.15.4, Thread, Zigbee and 2.4GHz proprietary. Nordic is also getting ready to launch a new product line based on LTE-M and NB-IoT technologies.
