NRF52840¶
This chip is just one model in the nRT52 series. It is available on a variety of development kits, from Nordic's (see below) to others that are small and very inexpensive (under $10).
From the Design Lab's perspective, we have standardized on the ESP32 family and board. We currently only used this product for a specificclient.
