RF Nano = Nano + NRF24, for just $3,50 on Aliexpress
-
@david-abbott nice work.
Maybe the nrf is a nrf24l01 (without + at the end)? They only support 1 and 2 mbit, not 250kbps.
@mfalkvidd I just checked it under a microscope and you are wright, it's a nrf24L01 without the "+". I just desoldered the nrf24L01 off the RF-Nano board and put a nrf24L01+ in place and now it works also on 250kbps.

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.
