Slou New 5 X Nrf24l01+ 2.4ghz Antenna Wireless Transceiver Module

These devices are amazing! Considering the fact that these devices have a generic PCB made Antenna they easily travel across my house without issues. I considered buying the ones that have the external antenna but they are more expensive, use more power resources and honestly not needed for my environment. I'm currently using them with an Arduino board I've been working on and haven't had any problems with them. I do recommend using MIRF as the normal library takes up more space on the Arduino Chip and isn't as stable with these devices as MIRF is. Communication was hit and miss until I switched over to the MIRF Library. The library is simpler to use but doesn't support as many features of the Chip as the standard lib does.

The NRF24L01 is great! http://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/Nrf24L01-2.4GHz-HowTo is a great tutorial (its not mine, but had to give props!).There are multiple libraries out there, so lots you can do with it! I look forward to many new things with these components (mesh networking and others)

Currently working to use these as peer-to-peer transceivers and they're working splendidly. Please note to anyone having any trouble getting these to work, make sure to check your library's function call list. Specifically which pin is identified as CE or CS, which are (in simplest terms) responsible for activating and enabling the transceiver. A number of the tutorials I saw had the pins switched in their code, which will make it seem as if the transceiver is faulty.Also make sure to not let your code get stuck in a while loop where both are stuck waiting to receive a signal from the other. (Remember they can only act as a transmitter or receiver at one point in time - only one antenna to talk through). I'm looking at you while(!radio.isavailable()); functions...

So these chips work pretty good if you get ones that work! I had used 2 a while ago and in testing found one chip to be non functioning then.. Today I tried to use the last 2 but found another bad one. I will have to order more. I may order from another source..

They work. Good job, thanks for making them. Maybe add some additional info with the next batch, like the pin out? No details as what each pin is, so after googling for a while I was able to find someone who had figured it out and documented it online. Besides that I was surprised to see how easy it was to program 2 way communication between an Arduion Nano and a Raspberry Pi

I bought this from Wings Go a while back and I just had time to try to again to get them to work. I am unable to get these devices to work. When I tried one of the arduino examples, it kept saying failed to send.

Excellent quality but be aware that indoor is heavily impacted by walls, objects and effective devices. I fashioned external antennas which improved the range by 10 to 15 feet through additional walls and doors. There's a video of a gentleman utilizing an approximately 3.25" long section of wire as an antenna. That's the one I used.

The price is great and they arrived ahead of time. I may order more but I haven't tested them all. They come in a clear plastic sealed bag. Almost everything I order comes in an ESD package or. Ignoring ESD is not good. Even though if all goes well I will order more.
