Edit1:


Looking at the suggestions, I made the following changes.




  • added diode to fan

  • replaced R21 and with R22 and LED1

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
