Key Features
- Proven NRF24L01+ Chipset: Industry-standard Nordic Semiconductor radio with automatic packet handling, CRC checking, and auto-retransmit for robust wireless communication.
- Ultra-Low Power Consumption: Draws only ~26uA in standby mode, making it perfect for battery-powered sensor nodes and wearable devices.
- Multi-Data Rate Support: Selectable 250kbps, 1Mbps, or 2Mbps air data rates - choose between extended range at lower speeds or high throughput at maximum speed.
- 126 Selectable Channels: Operate multiple independent networks in the same area without interference by assigning different frequency channels.
- 6 Data Pipe Architecture: Simultaneously receive data from up to 6 transmitter nodes in a star network topology, enabling efficient multi-node sensor networks.
- Enhanced ShockBurst Protocol: Hardware-level automatic acknowledgement and retransmission reduces MCU overhead and improves communication reliability.
- Compact PCB Antenna Design: No external antenna required - the on-board PCB trace antenna keeps the footprint minimal while delivering reliable range.
- Wide Voltage Compatibility: Operates from 1.9V to 3.6V with 5V-tolerant SPI pins, allowing direct connection to both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers like Arduino, STM32, and ESP32.
- Industrial Temperature Range: Rated from -40 degreesC to +85 degreesC for reliable operation in harsh environments including outdoor and industrial deployments.
- Ai-Thinker Quality: Manufactured by Ai-Thinker, a trusted name in wireless modules known for the ESP-01 and other popular IoT components.
