The BLE Nano is one of the smallest Bluetooth Low Energy development boards available, built around the Nordic nRF51822 System-on-Chip. Its compact form factor makes it ideal for wearable devices, IoT sensors, and space-constrained BLE projects.

This kit includes the BLE Nano board and the MK20 USB companion board, which serves as a programmer and debugger for loading firmware from your computer. Development is supported via Nordic's SDK, mbed.org, or the open-source Arduino library for the nRF51822.
