+# nRF52-ble-app-lbs
+Simple example application showing how to do a custom service. Fully explained in nAN-36, available on www.nordicsemi.com.
+
+nrf52-ble-app-lbs
+==================
+This is the accompanying code for the application note nAN-36: "Creating Bluetooth Low Energy Applications Using nRF51822". It is an implemtation of a simple application that shows a custom service with two characteristics; one for a button and one for a LED. The button characteristic will send a notification with the button state when the button is pressed, while the LED characteristic can be used to control an on-board LED.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+- nRF52 SDK version 0.9.2
+- S132 SoftDevice
+- nRF52822 DK (PCA10036 or PCA10040)
+
+The project may need modifications to work with other versions or other boards. 
+
+About this project
+------------------
+This application is one of several applications that has been built by the support team at Nordic Semiconductor, as a demo of some particular feature or use case. It has not necessarily been thoroughly tested, so there might be unknown issues. It is hence provided as-is, without any warranty. 
+
+However, in the hope that it still may be useful also for others than the ones we initially wrote it for, we've chosen to distribute it here on GitHub. 
+
+The application is built to be used with the official nRF52 SDK, that can be downloaded from https://www.nordicsemi.no, provided you have a product key for one of our kits.
+
+Please post any questions about this project on https://devzone.nordicsemi.com.
+
+How to get started
+------------------
+Clone the repository in the [SDK]/examples/ble_peripheral folder. (Directory structure should now look like [SDK]/examples/ble_peripheral/nrf52-ble-app-lbs).
+Next either open the Keil project file in .../arm5_no_packs and build or type 'make' in .../armgcc.
+Flash the s132 softdevice ('make flash_softdevice' command for gcc) and then flash the application ('make flash').
+
+Now that the application is running on the nRF52 DK you can either test with one of the nRF Blinky android/iOS apps or the Master Control Panel (android/iOS app or PC).
+
+nRF Blinky (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.nrfblinky
+Master Control Panel (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.mcp
+
+You will be able to blink the LED on the nRF52 from nRF Blinky or by writing to the LED characteristic in MCP.
+You can push Button 1 on the nRF52 DK and see the screen light up in nRF Blinky and see the Button characteristic updated in MCP.
