Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2540, CC2640, CC2650, CC2541, CC2541DK-MINI, BLE-STACK

I am new to TI .And this is my first project based on TI products.

My objective is to design a module having BLE and transmit two sensors(humidity and pressure) data through I2C protocol to an iOS and android app.

So as a begginer,should i use CC2540 or CC2640?

Which would be more easier and recommend any development kit for my support(programming and building source code).

i have only one month for this.

    Hi Ali,

    Although 1 month is a very short time frame to build a quite complex product I would recommend using the CC2650 SensorTag which already has a humidity and pressure sensor using I2C onboard. Example firmware is found in the SensorTag project found in the TI BLE stack v2.1 (ti.com/ble-stack).

    We also have an Android sample app available (https://git.ti.com/sensortag-20-android) and are working to publish an iOS application.

    Regards,

    Svend

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    But i thought CC2541 is enough for my requirements and its first BLE version,so it would be less complex than cc2640.

    My boss had ordered CC2541DK-MINI kit & CC2541SDK.

    Now i am worried that it can only be programmed to flash through IAR Embedded workbench,its full version is very expensive.Can you please suggest me any remedy for my project, to program 8051 ?

    Or IAR trial version will full fill my code requirements?

    Hello Ali,

    As explained in the SWDeveloper's Guide, IAR offers a full-featured 30 day trial. You will need to full version when working with the BLE-Stack.

    I don't think you will find the CC2640 complex; there are many examples and documents/wikis to help guide you. As suggested by Svend, please consider ordering the CC2650 SensorTag and CC-Devpack-Debugger. With this kit, you can develop with a free Code Composer Studio license.

    Best wishes
