Estoy desarrollando un prototipo IoT de bajo consumo para un vertedor inteligente de bebidas y busco un ingeniero embedded/freelance con experiencia práctica en Nordic Semiconductor nRF52 y Bluetooth Low Energy. El objetivo del prototipo es detectar cada servido de una botella mediante un reed switch activado por un imán colocado en la tapita abatible del vertedor. Cada vez que el reed switch se active, el microcontrolador debe enviar automáticamente un evento BLE con un ID único del vertedor hacia un dongle nRF52840 PCA10059 conectado a una computadora, que funcionará como hub/receptor. No busco una empresa grande ni una solución sobredimensionada. Busco un especialista técnico que pueda llevar el prototipo a una prueba funcional, documentada y replicable. Alcance del trabajo: 1. Revisar la arquitectura actual del prototipo: * Microcontrolador Nordic nRF52810. * Reed switch SPST normalmente abierto. * Imán de neodimio. * Batería tipo moneda CR1225 o alternativa recomendada. * Dongle Nordic nRF52840 PCA10059 como receptor/hub BLE. * Montaje inicial en placa fenólica o prototipo de prueba. 2. Desarrollar o ajustar el firmware del nRF52810 para: * Leer el estado del reed switch por GPIO. * Despertar desde bajo consumo cuando se active el reed switch. * Enviar automáticamente un evento BLE tipo push al activarse. * Incluir un ID único del vertedor en el paquete BLE. * Volver rápidamente a modo de bajo consumo. * Minimizar consumo para operación con batería tipo moneda. 3. Configurar/programar el dongle nRF52840 PCA10059 para: * Actuar como receptor BLE/hub conectado a una computadora. * Recibir eventos enviados por uno o varios vertedores. * Pasar la información recibida a la PC, idealmente por USB/serial o una herramienta equivalente. * Permitir pruebas de recepción y registro de eventos. 4. Desarrollar una prueba básica en computadora: * Puede ser una aplicación sencilla de línea de comandos, script en Python o herramienta equivalente. * Debe registrar: ID del vertedor + fecha/hora del evento. * Debe permitir validar que cada activación del reed switch genera un evento recibido correctamente. 5. Documentar claramente: * Entorno de desarrollo utilizado. * Versiones de SDK/toolchain. * Pasos de compilación. * Pasos de flasheo del nRF52810 y del PCA10059. * Diagrama básico de conexiones. * Código fuente comentado. * Archivo .hex compilado. * Recomendaciones de consumo y batería. Restricciones y preferencias técnicas: * Preferencia por Nordic nRF52, especialmente nRF52810 y nRF52840. * Se puede usar nRF5 SDK + SEGGER Embedded Studio o nRF Connect SDK/Zephyr, pero se debe justificar la elección. * El prototipo debe priorizar bajo consumo, simplicidad y confiabilidad. * La comunicación idealmente debe evitar emparejamiento manual dispositivo por dispositivo. * Se evaluará preferentemente una solución basada en BLE advertising no conectable o una alternativa BLE robusta para múltiples dispositivos. * El sistema será usado en ambiente interior tipo bar/restaurante, donde puede haber otros dispositivos Bluetooth y Wi-Fi. * El alcance requerido es de una habitación/bar pequeño a mediano, no larga distancia. Entregables esperados: 1. Firmware compilable para nRF52810. 2. Firmware/configuración para dongle nRF52840 PCA10059. 3. Archivos .hex listos para flashear. 4. Código fuente completo y comentado. 5.

Best Nordic nRF52 BLE Embedded Systems Expert! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dear Client, The biggest risk in this project is not sending BLE events—it’s building a low-power sensor node that works in the lab but becomes unreliable in real indoor environments with Wi-Fi congestion, missed triggers, unstable wake-up behavior, or excessive battery drain. That is where Nordic BLE and embedded systems judgment matters. I would approach this by: 1. reviewing the complete nRF52810 + reed switch architecture to optimize GPIO wake-up behavior, BLE reliability, and battery life 2. implementing an ultra-low-power event-driven design where the nRF52810 sleeps and wakes instantly on reed-switch activation 3. configuring BLE advertising with unique power IDs to avoid pairing complexity while maintaining fast event delivery This keeps the first prototype focused on dependable low-power BLE communication instead of unstable event detection or battery-related redesigns later. Two quick questions: 1. Approximately how many pourers will operate simultaneously in the same area? 2. Should the first version prioritize ultra-low power or maximum BLE responsiveness? If you message me, I can outline a scalable BLE architecture optimized for low power, fast wake-up response, and reliable multi-device event reception from the first milestone.

Hi there, I can help you build a reliable low-power BLE prototype using Nordic nRF52 devices, focused on simplicity, robustness, and fast proof-of-function. My approach would use the nRF52810 as a wake-on-GPIO ultra-low-power device triggered by the reed switch. On activation, it would send a short BLE advertising packet (non-connectable) containing a unique vertedor ID + event counter, then immediately return to deep sleep to maximize battery life (coin cell friendly). The nRF52840 PCA10059 dongle would act as a BLE scanner/central, receiving these advertising events and forwarding them over USB serial (CDC) to a PC. A lightweight Python script would log each event with timestamp + device ID to validate the system in real time. I recommend nRF5 SDK + SEGGER Embedded Studio for this project due to its stability, low overhead, and strong support for nRF52810 low-power advertising use cases. Communication is best handled via BLE advertising packets (manufacturer data), avoiding pairing and improving reliability in noisy environments like bars or restaurants. Estimated cost can be defined per milestone (prototype + optimization phases). I can confirm I work directly as an independent freelancer (no agency). Clarification point: do you prefer fixed pre-programmed IDs per device, or a configurable provisioning method during flashing/setup? Thanks!
