Any ideas how I can connect multiple Bluetooth Low Energy TinyShield (Nordic) to arduino uno or an arduino 101 ?

What I an trying to achieve is to have an arduino uno/101 be the central and the Peripheral(S) be the TinyShield Nordic. I have looked all over and cant seem to find the right solution. I don't want to use a raspberry pie or a smartphone for the central.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I was also wondering if it is possible to get two Tinyduino boards with ble shields to talk to each other...

The Nordic NRF8001 TinyShields are peripheral only, so they cannot talk to each other. However a central device that supports multiple connections can connect to multiple NRF8001 peripherals, the Arduino 101 hardware is capable of this- I don't know how their software support is, however. I would search 'Arduino 101 BLE central' and see if you can dig something up.
