How to communicate two nrf52820s with radio?

[YENESE]

Hello everyone!
I'm currently working on a custom PCB designed specifically for drone communication. In my design, I'm using the nRF52820 as the main microcontroller and the nRF21540 RF front-end module to boost the wireless signal strength and extend the communication range.

My goal is to establish wireless communication between two separate PCBs, each featuring an nRF52820. I'm trying to determine:

• Which radio protocol is most suitable for this setup (e.g., ESB, BLE, or custom nRF Radio),

• What configuration settings are required in the prj.conf file,

• And how to properly set up the board definitions for both the nRF52820 and the nRF21540 modules.

If you have any experience or suggestions regarding this type of RF communication setup, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I'm trying to determine:

• Which radio protocol is most suitable for this setup (e.g., ESB, BLE, or custom nRF Radio),

Both ESB and BLE can be good options if you control both ends of the connection. What is best depends on your particular use case and perhaps also on your experience level.

• What configuration settings are required in the prj.conf file,

• And how to properly set up the board definitions for both the nRF52820 and the nRF21540 modules.

Please see as a starting point our courses on DevAcademy (https://academy.nordicsemi.com/), where nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals provides an intro to our SDK, and where Bluetooth Low Energy gives an introduction to BLE.
