nRF52 boards support

MCU	2 PWM mode	4 PWM mode	3 PWM mode	6 PWM mode	pwm frequency config
nRF52	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️

Arduino SimpleFOClibrary recently started supporting the nRF52 devices due to a lot of effort put in by @Polyphe. These are the boards that have been tested so far:

Board	Name	Specifications	Link	Price
	Arduino Nano 33 BLE	ARM Cortex M4F - 3.3V logic - 12 PWMs - all pins interrupts - 8 adc pins- 64Mhz	Arduino Store	18€
	Adafruit Feather nRF52 Bluefruit	ARM Cortex M4F - 3.3V logic - 12 PWMs - all pins interrupts - 8 adc pins- 64Mhz	Adafruit Store	22€

Arduino IDE support package

In order to use the nRF52 boards in the Arduino IDE please instal the nRF52 support package using Arduino IDE board manager.

For some boards you might need to install the Adafruit nRF52 package in addition to the Arduino nRF52 package in your Board manager. Here is a quick guide how to enable Adafruit packages in the Arduino IDE.
