This blog post shows how write firmware to read environmental data from a BME680 breakout board and advertise the temperature, pressure, humidity and air quality date over BLE. http://embeddedsoftdev.blogspot.com/2018/01/bluetooth-le-with-nordic-nrf51-nrf52.html Full code is available via github link on the blog, including iOS and Android App example source code to display the data.

That's a great start. A condensed version of the demo would be a good update. Would you be able to provide some images/video here? Always helps the potential backer visualize using the units.
In an update, could you talk about developing the module in the first place? Maybe talk about the predecessors and how you incorporated feedback to make a device that would be so useful?
Exploring the software options in more depth would be good.
Another update that may be interesting would be how the test jig works and how it was developed. The people buying these will be mostly engineers, after all.
Going through the manufacturing process more would also be good. I'm curious about the shielding production, myself. This may not be data you can collect right now: but it'd be great to have some photography/videography of production. Some manufacturers are willing to take such documentation for you at request.
Let me know which of these you think are feasible for you to pull off. We should have them as planned out as possible before launch. Can't hurt to have them prepped some in advance, either.

I have made a new application PCB. This is a environmental sensor board with BME280 or BME680 : Temperature, Humidity, Pressure, Air Quality(BME680 only) and a the MPU-9250 9 axis motion sensor. This for anyone who want to create their sensor beacon or Nordic Thingy App compatible device. Example source code firmware will be added to gihub.

Nicely done!! This will almost certainly make for a good project update. Customers are generally interested in the certification process, and it'd be a good time to explain what that means for the end-users of BLYST.

All electronic products have to have a declaration of conformity. For Europe, CE is require; for US, FCC is require and UL if product is directly line powered. Wireless device need to have FCC and CE for the Intentional emission compliance. The Blyst Nano already certified that part so the end product using Blyst Nano don't have to redo all the test for that part. Which means saving on the certification costs. The end user product needs only to pass other requirements test for the product as a whole. Using an uncertified module, end user product must do all tests including intentional emission and if thet uncertified module did not pass the test, the user will be in big trouble.
Updates published during your campaign should reveal details of the inner workings of your product, describe the prototyping process, show examples of how your product can be used, announce new features, answer common questions not originally addressed on the project page, and generally get your audience excited about your project. To begin with, add a comment to this GitHub issue which lists potential weekly update titles and brief descriptions. Eventually, you will write each update as a Markdown file in the
updatesdirectory in this repo.
