Description

The Arduino-compatible RFduino can be programmed using the same software (Arduino IDE) that is used to program any traditional board within the Arduino family. All we need to do is add a single folder with the RFduino software libraries and tools, a process which is clearly described in the Quickstart Guide.

Getting Started

This module is meant to be mounted (using any standard soldering technique) onto any PCB that bears the correct footprint. The custom pad pattern is easily accessible for hand soldering (0.050in pitch), and the layout on the board can be found in our EAGLE libraries (within the RF sub-library).

Looking for the fastest way to get started with RFduino?

The developers at RFDigital have done much of the heavy lifting already; they've put together a great breakout board and USB shield for getting a jump-start on programming the module! In addition, they've also released a wide selection of shields that add different functionality to the RFduino!
