NRF-Shield nRF24L01+ Shield

PTSolns NRF-Shield shields interface with common nRF24L01+ transceivers

Image of PTSolns NRF-Shield nRF24L01+The PTSolns NRF-Shield is intended to be used with the common nRF24L01+. This shield can work with any of the three common nRF packages: the standard size, the mini, and the +PA+LNA. The three shields are collectively referred to as NRF. The onboard NRF interface can be powered by the 3.3 V pin of the below microcontroller or by the VIN pin. An onboard 3.3 V voltage regulator and capacitors condition the voltage for the NRF interface if using the external VIN powering option. Hardware pin configurations give users flexibility in implementing their design, allowing them to choose between different hardwired pin assignments. The shield offers I2C and SPI interfaces as well as a small prototyping section.

The shield’s form factor is the same width as the Uno R3 or Leonardo but is shorter. Three of the four mounting holes on the Uno R3/Leonardo are found on the NRF-Shield, with the same position and diameter. The fourth mounting hole was sacrificed to add an SPI interface. Although the shield is fully stackable, for best RF communication, this shield should be installed as the topmost layer in the stack. The NRF-Shield is compatible with the Uno R3, Leonardo, Mega R3, Due, and other similar microcontrollers.
