RF Nano = Nano + NRF24, for just $3,50 on Aliexpress
-
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

@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.
-
@martim I think this is a better alternative: https://www.electrodragon.com/product/nrf24duino-arduino-mini-plus-nrf24l01-board/
@ncollins That is a nice board indeed. I haven't checked because I will order some things after dinner. For me it is a must to keep the arduino Nano footprint. So I can replace the nano and nrf in some of the projects I already built.

@martim Yep, you just need to make sure to turn off the EEPROM module after setup, then it's basically an Atmega328p and NRF24L01+. It has solderable jumpers to bypass the voltage regulator and status LED.
Here is a claim of 12uA in sleep: https://forum.mysensors.org/post/96631

Why not go for a sensebender? https://www.itead.cc/mysensors-micro.html
I have one in each room, measuring temp and humidity. It works great

@martim said in RF Nano = Nano + NRF24, for just $3,50 on Aliexpress:
@TheoL way to expensive.
For less money, and very little effort, you can put your own together: https://www.openhardware.io/view/480/Compact-nRF24L01-Pro-Mini-Bottom-Shield
As demonstrated, it also gives you more choice and control over the type/quality of nRF24 module that you get.
