The motherboard has built in support radio performance and functionality. The application supports a wide range for nRFProbe enabling hardware debugging over the USB interface with no of radio tests from simple output power tests, to more advanced tests such requirement for a special dongle. as sensitivity and link performance. Each test can be easily configur ed by the designer to match specific application requirements. nRFgo radio nRFgoDisplayextensionmodule modules plugged into the motherboard will be automatically detected and The Display extension module enables easy prototyping of applications configur ed by the application. with smaller displays. It also enables the motherboard to be controlled/con- fi gured and display status information when not connected to the PC. The nRFgo Display extension module includes a 16 x 2 alphanumeric display, a nRFgoStudioScreenshot display controller, a small joystick and a joystick controller. Both the display and the joystick offer simple 2-wire interfaces for quick prototyping. The 2-wire display interface accepts standard HD44780 commands. nRFgoDisplaymodule Productcontent AboutNordicSemiconductorASA Hardware,Softwareanddocumentation UltralowpowerRFsiliconsolutions The following is included in the box: Nordic Semiconductor is a fabless semiconductor company specializing Two nRFgo Motherboards in ultra low power short-range wireless communication.
