With this board you can easily adapt any project with RFM69HC radio for using in NRF24 environment. Software adaptation is easy too.

Preliminary specifications

  • Two variants of the board. Simple nrf24l01+ and nrf24l01+ with PA+LNA based on rfx2401c.
  • This is a very compact board (16.5x16mm).
  • Pin to pin compatible with RFM69HC footprint
  • IPX socket. A lot of antennas are available.
  • PA+LNA with Harmonic Filter.

Background

Some of my boards are very small. All of them are designed for using with RFM69 radio by default because this radio has a much wider range. So it is not a trivial task to adapt some of them for using in nrf24 RF environment. Even nrf24l01 smd modules have 18mm length instead of 16mm rfm modules and requires antenna outline. So I tried to design these boards which you can use instead of rfm69hc modules in every my or other projects.

Work in progress...
