nRF24L01 Breakout Adapter with Voltage Regulator

Description

The nRF24L01+ are RF transceiver modules that can be used for wireless communications.  They operate at a voltage range of 1.9 – 3.6V for power.  This nRF24L01 breakout adapter can be powered off 5V-12V and supplies well regulated 3.3V to the NRF24L01 socket.  It also breaks out the pins for easier hookup and has a power on LED.

PACKAGE INCLUDES:

• nRF24L01 Breakout Adapter

KEY FEATURES OF nRF24L01+ BREAKOUT ADAPTER:

• 3.3V Voltage Regulator
• Labeled breakout pins
• Power LED

The module has a 2-pin male header for making power connections.

1 x 2 Header (male)

• GND  –  Ground.  Connect to ground on microcontroller or separate power supply if used
• VCC  –   5-12V.  May be powered off the 5V from the microcontroller or a separate power supply.

The module has a 1×6-pin male breakout header for making connections to the microcontroller.

1 x 6 Header (male).

• CE  –      Chip Enable.  Sets whether module is in RX or TX mode.
• CSN   –  SPI Chip Select
• SCK –     SPI Clock
• MOSI –  SPI Slave Data Input
• MISO –  SPI Slave Data Output
• IRQ –     Maskable Interrupt

The adapter has a 2×4-pin female header that mates with the nRF24L01+ module.  These pins mirror the connections made on the 1×6 header and 1×2 power header.  Be sure to observe proper orientation when inserting the module into the adapter.  The module extends off the end of the adapter and not over it.
