| Do you wish there was an easy, cheap way for your micro-controllers to
| |
| talk to each other over a wireless link? If so, come and learn about the
| |
| Nordic nrf24L01+ type modules. These allow short range wireless
| |
| communication in the 2.4 GHz band. The nrf24L01+ is designed for PC
| |
| keyboard/mouse, remote controls, home automation, toys etc.
| |
|
| |
|
| There is available software to use the nrf24L01+ modules with common
| | === Virtual Board Gaming Social: Friday December 6th === |
| boards such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone Black. The nrf24L01+
| | 6 pm |
| module can be added to these boards for about $1 per node, if ordered
| |
| directly from China. I'll talk a little about my experience ordering
| |
| directly from China.
| |
|
| |
|
| I will talk about the features of the nrf24L01+ and the software to use it. I will demo a sensor star network with a couple of them on Arduinos (what else?) sending data to an Arduino attached to a laptop as the base unit.
