In many projects we may need wireless communication between different microcontrollers.For that we are using different modules like XBee/Zigbee, simple RF,bluetooth/BLE etc.Now on this blog I am going to explain a different wireless transceiver module NRF24L01 which is working on 2.5GHz ISM band frequency.
I was so lazy to work on this module since this is not a breadboard friendly module and i was not having female to male headers.And I was too lazy to make a connection circuit to this module to breadboard.Meanwhile i got an invitation from collaborizm a platform for entrepreneurs/engineers/creatives.I was about to have a look on a project on NRF24L01.So I tested my module for the first time.
NRF24L01 is designed for ultra low power wireless applications.It is a transceiver with an embedded base band protocol engine named Enhanced ShockBurst™.The module can be interfaced with arduino or any other microcontrollers via SPI bus.
Applications
- In wireless PC peripherals like keyboard,Mouse etc
- Remotes
- Toys
- Home automation
- Asset tracking systems
- Active RFID systems
- Ultra low power sensor networks
Here I am going to showcase a simple NRF24L01 based transmitter and receiver.Transmitter is act as remote control and receiver will ON/OFF a LED in accordance with the data received.I am using arduino pro minis as my microcontrollers you can use your own arduinos.
you can find the arduino library for nrf24l01 here
