      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.

              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 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

                                      You might be interested by the board I've designed. Not "RF Nano" but "RF Pro Mini". Of course you need a "USB to serial" programmer but it directly runs on batteries.
                                      See here and here.

                                          @martim Just search for RF Nano on Aliexpress. Haven't looked for the cheapest one, just the first that says LRF24L01+. Although not certain if it is really a + version of the NRF24L01.

                                          This is one on Aliexpress
