NRF24L01 with mobile phone

[Salem]

Hello all, 

I am trying to build a simple wireless-automated device using NRF24L01 via BLE. I am reaching out to ask if there are any libraries built to communicate with the chip from a smartphone " mobile application" ( ideally something written in react native). Are there any such libraries that you can recommend to me?

Thanks in advance and looking for your soonest reply.

Hi Ahmed

The nRF24L01 does not support BLE, it only runs the proprietary ShockBurst protocol. 

If you want a Nordic device that supports BLE you should look at one of our more recent devices, such as a device in the nRF52 series. 

We provide some reference mobile applications on Github if you want to have a look:

Just search for "Android" or "iOS" in the list of repositories and you should find the relevant examples. 

Best regards
Torbjørn
