Datasheet

Can I use the nRF52 as a Central to connect to other BLE peripherals?
The S132 Soft Device and the nRF52832 HW support Central mode, so yes this is
possible.
At this early
development stage, though, there is only bare bones support for Central mode in the Adafruit nRF52 codebase,
simply to test the HW and S132 and make sure that everything is configured properly. An example is provided of
listening for incoming advertising packets, printing the packet contents and meta-data out to the Serial Monitor. We
hope to add further Central mode examples in the future, but priority has been given to the Peripheral API and
examples for the initial release.
