#### Compact multi-sensor BLE prototyping platform

Control and read data over Bluetooth Low Energy from the Nordic Thingy52, an IoT Sensor development kit.

The Nordic Thingy:52™ is an easy-to-use prototyping platform, designed to help in building prototypes and demos, without the need to build hardware or even write firmware. It is built around the nRF52832 Bluetooth 5 SoC.

For more information about the Nordic Thingy52 see Nordic's [website](<https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Development-Kits/Nordic-Thingy-52>).

This snap includes applications to control the Nordic Thingy52 using [bluepy](<https://github.com/IanHarvey/bluepy>) and [bluez](<https://docs.ubuntu.com/core/en/stacks/bluetooth/bluez/docs/>).
