Understanding the nRF24L01 Module

The nRF24L01 is a compact 2.4GHz transceiver module designed by Nordic Semiconductor. It supports both transmitting and receiving data and communicates with microcontrollers over the SPI interface. This module operates on 3.3V and consumes very little power—about 12mA during data transmission. There are multiple versions of this module, including one with an external antenna and an onboard PA (Power Amplifier) and LNA (Low-Noise Amplifier) chip (RFX2401C), which greatly improves the communication range and reliability, especially in noisy environments.

Final Working and Testing

Once Code uploaded:

• The transmitter reads temperature and humidity every 2 seconds.
• The receiver gets the data and displays it on the OLED and Serial Monitor.
• You can test the range indoors or outdoors to explore its full potential.

Applications of nRF24L01

• Home automation
• Wireless sensors
• Remote-controlled robots.
