nRF8001 Development Kit User Guide v2.0
4.3
Master Control Panel
The Master Control Panel is used with the nRF51822 Development Dongle (PCA10000) to create a
Bluetooth
low energy master for nRF8001 and to test the application using nRF8001. With the Master Control Panel
you can:
• Scan for advertisers
• Connect with nRF8001
• Send/receive data
Two additional components are installed in conjunction with the Master Control Panel:
• Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables: Files needed for the Master Control Panel, unless .Net v3.5
has already been installed
• Drivers for the master emulator (Segger)

Compiling for the Arduino platform
The source code is written in C and developed using the Arduino IDE and toolchain and Atmel studio. The
Arduino IDE is available for download from
http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
.
To debug software for the application processor (Arduino) you can use simple Serial.print() function calls to
print debug messages through the UART or use a JTAG based debugger that works with the Arduino board.
