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
boards such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone Black. The nrf24L01+
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.
If you are ready to break your New Years Resolutions, I will be bringing
German Chocolate cup cakes with coconut pecan frosting.

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 boards such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone Black. The nrf24L01+ 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.

If you are ready to break your New Years Resolutions, I will be bringing German Chocolate cup cakes with coconut pecan frosting.
