💬 Usb Key Gateway

I already looked for hardware with nrf52832, but i dont find lot of documentation, and it seems to be harder.
Dont find nrf52832 module with pa/lna version for good range.
But it seems very interesting, because no need to use module for comuunication and mcu, like nrf24+atmega328, only nrf52 module is necessary.
Can we have a gateway with nrf24, and sensors with nrf52 ?Does my project seem good ? No errors ?
@sancho119 there are modules from Fanstel with PA, all their nrf52 modules have the same footprint so you can choose compact module with small antenna, module with a bigger antenna and better range or module with PA.
And yes you can mix gateway/modules with nrf24 or nrf52. -
Has anyone got a USB stick to work as a gateway?
I know it will have limited range, but for my purposes it would be great.
I imagine users plugging in the USB stick, and then simply pressing a button in an interface to turn it into a gateway. It would save space too.
Another option would be to use a Digi Spark. It's the same price ($17), and I already know that will work. But it's less elegant than a USB stick.

I have usb sticks, I will try that.
For your link on AliExpress, it's not a great place to buy one, the official price is much lower than that, get it from a legit source it's around US$10. -

I tested these:
https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/Nordic-nRF52832-BLE-4-0-4-2-USB-UART-5-0-BLE/32862480389.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.274233edwLVeQeWork great as a gate...

@sancho119 Hi, I try to use ESP32 as gateway with nrf24 module and NRF52832 as node (using nrf52) without nrf24. Does it work?
Can nrf52 communicate with nrf24 ? thanks

@chuqingsheng yes, that's exactly the idea. The NRF52 is backward compatible with the NRF24.

@berkseo Cool! Could you explain what the installation process looks like? Is it Arduino based?

By the way, I'm currently using the RF Nano as a 'usb key gateway', or sorts. With the WebThings Gateway, a user just has to install the Candle manager add-on. Then they plug in the RF Nano and select that they want to upload gateway code from a menu. That's all they have to do.
