I heard that the bbc:micro uses the nRF51822. If that's the case, then this is another project using that processor which may be of interest:

MicroPython on the BBC micro:bit
Re: MicroPython on the BBC micro:bit
Here is an ad that is being broadcast on BBC TV at the moment, advertising the micro:bit: https://vimeo.com/158797616

Re: MicroPython on the BBC micro:bit
What about a section "BBC Micro:bit" ?
My "MicroPython Samples". My "MicroPython Firmwares" with many options (double precision, ulab, etc).
Re: MicroPython on the BBC micro:bit
If Damien agrees I can add a section.
I vote for getting all micropython activites as much as possible onto this forum (LoPy?).
A good example how that might work out is the forum xda-developers. They support hundreds of different smartphones. Due to that, it became the incubator and hot-spot for many new developments.
I guess this forum can be the same for all kind of micropython activites.
My idea would be to keep devices in the "Other board" section and whenever a moderator notice a significant amount and activity on a particular board, we will move this into an own dedicated subforum. This can be a two way route, long time inactive subforums can also be dropped into the "Other boards" section. Writing this, I think I we discussed exactly this some while ago

Re: MicroPython on the BBC micro:bit
People were asking about pymakr forum as well. As a sub category to LoPy maybe and mu editor for microbit. It's Damien's initiative of course.
Re: MicroPython on the BBC micro:bit
As far as I remember, our policy was to be conservative with subforums to avoid an internal depletion of posts among many different forums. I know examples of websites with dozens of subforums and each keeps only a handful of posts, and many not being active since months or years.
Thus, if we find enough posts and activity around the microbit (which in this case, I am pretty sure will happen), we could create a forum and move all existing posts into the new one.
The same should happen for pymakr and mu editor... enough posts and we create a sub-category.
As for the LoPy, I would really love to have it here, but it is a bit quit about this from Daniels side. Maybe he like to comment or make a statement. All I can say is that micropython united would have a better impact and cross fertilisation of ideas and code among different platforms is always very helpful.
