Microduino-nRF24

Microduino-nRF24 uses the newest 2.4GHz transceiver nRF24L01 from Nordic Semiconductor. This transceiver IC operates in the 2.4GHz band and has many new features! Take all the coolness of the nRF2401A and add some extra pipelines, buffers, and an auto-retransmit feature.

Designers can use Microduino-nRF24 in project without any wireless design , and just need to stack it with Microduino-Core or Microduino-Core+ through UPin-27, the standard Microduino interface will attach nRF24 and MCU with SPI bus, on transferring data.

Microduino-nRF24 works in the 1.9 to 3.6v voltage, the on-chip DC-DC regulator will automatically step down supply voltage to proper level.

Note: We now populate these boards with the nRF24L01+. The '+' version of the IC has improved range, sensitivity, and data rates. The command set is backward compatible with the original nRF24L01.


Features

  • Low apply cost, the link layer is fully integrated in the module, very easy to develop；
  • Automatic retransmission function, automatic detection and resend the lost packets. Retransmission time and retransmission times can be controled by software;
  • Automatic store the packets that didn't received response signal;
  • Automatic reply function, after receipt of a valid data, module will send response signal automatically, no need programming again;
  • Set six receiving channel address at the same time and selectively open the receiver channel;
  • Standard pin 2.54 MM spacing interface, convenient for embedded application;
  • Small, cheap, stackable, opened platfrom;
  • Open source hardware circuit design, compatible with the Arduino IDE development environment for programming;
  • Defines unified interface Microduino specification and contain rich peripheral modules. Set up the quick connection with other Microduino modules and sensors easily and flexibly.
  • 2.54 pitch row female connector for easy integration into breadboard.


Specification

  • Global opened 2.4 GHz ISM band, the maximum 0 DBM transmission power, free license to use;
  • Low working voltage: 1.9 ~ 3.6V low voltage;
  • SMA antenna, easy to replace;
  • Support six channels data reception;
  • High rate: 2 MBPS, due to the air transport time is very short, greatly reduce the collision phenomenon in the wireless transmission (software set 2 MBPS or 256 KBPS, 1 MBPS air transmission rate);
