Artemis module programming - Clarification Questions

Development Boards Artemis

Hi - I want to use Artemis module (BLE to be more precise) on my custom PCB, however I really am struggling to find unequivocal tutorial on how to program it.

I have very little experience in embedded engineering, so for I would like to use Arduino IDE to program my module.

I have found out that Artemis has SWD pins so I have thought about using my ST-Link to program it.

Am i able to do it using Arduino IDE? Or do I need to take different approach?

I have seen an approach that uses RX/TX pins and UART - USB converter - is this way easier and more foolproof? I want to avoid situation in which I am overwriting/deleting/corrupting crucial code and therefore making my life harder.

Cheers - Dominus

If you are a beginner the easiest way is using the Arduino IDE; check out https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/ar … rduino-ide for help getting started

Hi -thanks for response. However what if I wanted to give SWD or RX/TX a try? Is it doable?

Sure - the ones we sell on PCBs have PTH holes for such https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/de … rogramming

Also you can poke around here https://www.sparkfun.com/artemis#resources for more artemis-related paths if you want to use a bare module or w/e :slight_smile:
