Features
The Nordic Semiconductor nRF24L01 is descended from the TXRX24G, but it offers some important features that make it much easier to deal with:
- Enhanced Shockburst™: This is Nordic’s link layer protocol that gives the radio auto-acknowledgement, auto-retransmit, and packet loss detection capability. It will make the wireless link much more reliable without adding complexity to the students’ application programs.
- SPI bus: The nRF24L01 implements a 4-wire Serial Peripheral Interface bus. This allows the software driver to use the microcontroller’s native high speed SPI module for communications instead of having to do manual bit bashing, which is less reliable, slower, and more difficult to implement.
- External antenna: This should improve the new radio’s sensitivity and range over those of the old radios.
- MultiCeiver™: Each radio can receive packets on up to six different addresses. This allows us to implement features such as selective packet broadcasting without sacrificing other functionality.
Other features: Variable packet widths, packet queueing, ack packet payload, etc.

Schematic
Demo Code of STC51
Usage
Connect board RX to TX (MCU,PC), and board TX to RX(MCU,PC)
Simply use a UART connector (PL2303, FT232RL, CP2102, etc) to connector between PC and this module.
- To upload C51 demo code, notice the MCU frequency, for default button pressed frequency is 22.1184 mhz, and data transmission demo code frequency is 18.xx Mhz
Testing Methods
- In this case you don't need connect with any UART and go to PC
- Prepare two pairs, all power up normally:
- One pair of TX and RX connect to LEDs, and LEDs goes to VCC.
- The TX (Or RX) in another pair should shortly connect to GND
- Now the LEDs will start to blinking which means both works well
- Try to further adapt the demo code for your projects
