Hi,
I am faced with making an MCU that communicates with an iPhone App and don’t know where to start.
I am a Microchip user so I would need some sort
of kit that shows how to make a Bluetooth chip communicate with an iPhone app. Then I would use my MCU to get the information from the Bluetooth chip.
I have my eye on the following part:

But I never used an Arduino…
So…
Any advice where I could start with this … ?
Thank you
Hello!
You might want to read the [nRF52840 Development with Arduino and CircuitPython tutorial. That will show you how to setup the Arduino IDE for use with this board. The Arduino IDE can be downloaded for free from the [Arduino website.](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software)](nRF52840 Development with Arduino and CircuitPython - SparkFun Learn)
Hi TS-Chris,
Thanks for your reply. Yesterday things moved in a different direction.
I would be needing an MCU with integrated wifi so I can communicate with an iphone app.
Also I am a C programmer so I would hope to code in a C environment.
I am browsing through the SF products but don’t seem to find anything.
If you know a dev kit for this I would really appreciate you pointing me in that direction
thank you so much

Unfortunately we don’t have a dev kit that would work for you, but you might have a look at ESP8266 based board like the [Thing Dev. It can be programmed in Arduino or through [Espressif’s IDE which I believe uses C but I’m not really sure.
Sadly I don’t have any real information on using these outside the Arduino IDE as our products are geared toward the electronics hobbyist and that’s what most people getting their feet wet use.](Third-Party SDKs | Espressif Systems)](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13711)
