Yea this board in no way should cost $25, and is really late to the game with a nordic BLE board. Their website is really disingenuous about things that the Nordic BLE chip just has inside. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;oshchip.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;oshchip.org&#x2F;</a> Things like:
&quot;OSHChip_V1.0 is a unique combination of&quot; (insert list of things inside the nrf51 series). How is it a unique combination of those things?? &quot;You get to be a chip designer.&quot; Um, what how exactly do you get to be a chip designer?? You mean, you get to choose whether or not to use the I2C port that is built-in? Anyway, obviously they are marketing this toward students with that type of language. Which is great, good on them, but if it hits hacker news I think it deserves a bit of criticism if they list &quot;professionals&quot; as one of the people this applies to--especially with the price compared to other modules that have been around for some time.
