      According to this site, the ebay-modules have also caps included. There are also some sellers providing according schematics.
      I myselfe use a couple of them (also with +pa+nla-modules) and never ran into bigger trouble.

      Anyone with different experiences?

          I probably missed that because I never seen the caps being specified

          If they work, good find

            On ebay, i cant find the bypass capacitor in the specs. I have written to a seller asked about it. I will report to you about the answer.

            I have tried once again the two high power nrf24 pa+lna (I put foil onto these) but these dont work. I think these are broken or very very bad ones.

            Could you suggest to me a seller who sells High power nrf24 which ones you have got good experinces?

            Thanks,

              The caps are small SMD parts, explicitely mentioned you may find them on ebay here. (This is a 10PIN-Version, but as you see, despite the number of PINs, it's similar to the 8-PIN version you find everywhere.

              But to be honest: I never saw the necessity to make measurements on this topic...

                Hi rejoe2!

                What kind of nrf24 do you use, and where did you buy these?
                I think that you use capacitor as well, and stable 3.3V dont you?
                Do you think that this shield is good for my node? It would be very good if i didnt have to use cables for nrf24....

                    I use nRF-Modules in the "normal" format and several pa+nla-Variants,. The first ones I probably bought from the ebay source mentionned on the mysensors-site (build-page), but by now, I may have used parts from around 4-5 different ebay-sellers as source. They look different, but until now, I only got "non-blob"-modules which all seemed to work reliably in the end. One time, I really was convinced to have bought fake and bad ones, but in the end it turned out these problems where mainly sw-related.

                    For powering, I initially used AMS1117-only-Modules and additional caps, but using the above adaptor-modules made things much easier, as they have all relevant parts on-board (3.3V+caps, space is no problem in my personal use-cases).

                    Fyi: As I now prefer wires over rf, I'm about to replace most of my nodes by RS485-variants.

                      Thanks for the suggestions.
                      Had you got problems with nrf24?
                      Tomorrow i will try to configure openhab. I have tried to find a quick up to date guide for openhab 2 + mqtt mysensors but font find one.
                      Mysensors said that their bindigs support only ethernet or serial gateway officially.
                      I dont understand what is the diff (or why mqtt used mostly) the ethernet and mqtt solution but i have started the mqtt already.

                      Best regards

                        I indeed had some troubles with nRF nodes, but related to this.
                        FHEM is used as a controller and two serial GW's, so: no experience with the MQTT stuff.

                          I see. I hope, i can use it for a while:).
                          I think im closed this topic. The solution was to change the nrf24 modules, because i could not pair them.
                          The anoother problem was that i use two power source, and i didnt common the GND.

                          Thank you everyone who helped to me!

                            Reading through your posts: am I right in assuming that these NRF24L01 are rubbish and I should buy some proper ones with a chip instead of a blob?

                            alt text

                            Or has anybody a pair of them up and running?

                              I havent had got blob one yet so i havent got experience with it. But i red about the blob version and it should work....
                              But I suggest to you that you should buy these from reliable brand/shop. I think Itead or keyestudio are reliable brands. And i bought a pair nrf24 from ebyte, but it hasnt arrived yet.

                                Yes, those are rubbish. I lost countless hours trying to get them working but without success

                                  Ok, spent half the day trying to figure out what I was doing wrong and all I had to do was read the forum. The radios I purchase were junk. Not one of the 10 worked. Had everything placed on a board figured my workmanship was a little off or something. The radio was last to be checked.
                                  WOOOOOOWWWWO

                                  Thanks Everyone this post saved me a lot more time.
