Arduino Bluetooth BLE and BLE Sensor

Hi together,

right now I try to connect a Arduino Uno to a Bluetooth BLE sensor (and NOT to a mobile device).

The Arduino should read that datas and transmit them via LoRa to a LoRa Gateway (that still works), and from there the datas will go to a cloud.
Sounds complicated, but it´s right now the only possible way.

My question:
Does anyone nows what kind of bluetooth shield/card I need to read the Bluetooth BLE datas from the Sensor I use (Standard BLE protocoll and known)?
I know that a HC-05 and HC-06 doesn´t work. But what kind of shield is suitable here?

Thanks

did you try google?

The nRF8001 is not recommended for new designs and probably does not support BLE central mode. nRF52 boards are much better supported these days.

Thanks, for your support here.

Yes, I´ve used google to get the informations I need. But the result was not as expected.
But I´ll take a look onto the nRF52. Hope to find over there what I need.

Thanks guys.

Arduino announced 2 BLE boards but they are not shipping yet.

I´ve ordered the Adafruit Feather nRF52 Bluefruit LE Development Board. Let´s see when
these board is available if it will work.

And the Bluetooth has to work together with a Nano one, because here is the LoRa shield installed.
