RF Nano = Nano + NRF24, for just $3,50 on Aliexpress
-
How are people getting on with these boards, mine just arrived today so doing a bit of testing. I wanted one as a replacement gateway for home assistant. I've got it working at 1mb and the pin changes suggested above, just wondered how they worked out for people in practice over the long term.
I also wanted to mention that there is another option although it would work out more expensive

@chickey said in RF Nano = Nano + NRF24, for just $3,50 on Aliexpress:
That expansion board does not contain a Nano itself. It's just an expansion, in the same style at the existing Nano Wireless Boards? I prefer those, since they have Dupont pins, including a GND and VCC pin for every digital and analog pin. (But these are not compatible with the RF Nano). Those are $1.5.
The RF Nano's are doing fine over here. I'm waiting for 10 normal $1 expansion boards to arrive.

We know :-)
I just bought 70 the other day, they are so useful for workshops. And since you can use them at maximum power their range is acceptable too.

Just got 4 of these, happy to say they're all '+' models and connect without issues, bingo!

@mark-swift Do you have a link of your supplier?
-
I previously purchased from the exact product link listed by @Mark-Swift and confirmed they are not + models.

@dustin-thurston Mine are certainly plus models, as they connect at 250kbps without issue (nor do they need debug turned on).

Can others report their luck? I hate to purchase again and get same result. Especially when seller was non-responsive.

Hi ! Got a couple of these. Hard to say if its + chip ( but I guess not ). Anyway I am not able to get them running a simple test sketch. Only get RBR:REG=23, VAL=17
-
:-D Now I wish I hadn't bought 70 of the old version already.
They're working well though, very happy with them. Great for workshops.

@torfinn
i had to set
#define MY_RF24_CE_PIN 10
#define MY_RF24_CS_PIN 9
on mine (definetly not + btw) a while back.... -
@torfinn These settings should make it work, regardless of which version you buy:
// If you are using an RF-Nano, you have to switch CE and CS pins. #define MY_RF24_CS_PIN 9 // Used by the MySensors library. #define MY_RF24_CE_PIN 10 // Used by the MySensors library. // Enable and select radio type attached #define MY_RADIO_RF24 #define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL RF24_PA_MAX // Mysensors advanced settings #define MY_RF24_DATARATE RF24_1MBPS // This datarate is supported by pretty much all NRF24 radios, including the RF-Nano. -
Hi guys
just a newbie in MySensors, i am buikding my home net with RF24 radio.
Just received 4 of this rf-nano (+ chip) and set one into relay device
With my Wemos D1mini pro + NRF24L01 +PA+LA gateway, it works in my whole (relatively large) house (approx 30m through a lot of walls and armed floor).
Really handy for small boxes projects, the missing functionality is the interrupt pin not (easily ?) accessible for battery powering -
I continue my test with this chip, and solved an issue in declaring children of a node
I tried the relay actuator with 2 relays, the second one never wanted to get an ACK message for the presentation message
I tried with 3 children relays , first is ACK, second still NACK and 3rd .... ACK again !Even if it was not my first thought, i finally insert a wait(1000) between each present line which solved the problem
hope it can help
