I am doing a similar project. I don't know how to make it work, but I recognize the type of board you have. You don't have a nRF24LU1+ The HL-340 is a separate chip that does USB to serial conversion. You probably also have a separate 8051 that is doing serial to SPI conversion and likely connecting to a nRF24L01+
I think the nRF24LU1+ has all of these types of components merged into one IC. I don't have my board working, but I am trying to open a serial connection to /dev/ttyUSBx and send bytes, on the theory that the data will be delivered to the nRF24L01+. If I get it to work I will comment again.

Hi Winner,

First, you need to figure out how to flash/program the chip. The firmware provided in the .zip should be flashed on the chip. Without that it's not possible to proceed.

When you click on nRF24LU1+ Bootloaders, do you see any option ?

Thanks for your help. But since manufacturer hasn't answered, I have to try to follow your suggestion for Win and the same as your product. Could you explain better what I have to do with this Could you provide more detailed instructions? Thanks a lot!!

I have no idea what the HL-340 is doing here. I would suggest you to contact the seller and let them give you the instruction on how to use the board. Note that we have no connection to the manufacturer of the board, and have no idea what they flashed on our chip, what kind of protocol they used. Usually, on Windows we have example code and driver for using nRF24LU1 as a comport. But we haven't tested on Linux, and don't know if the code on the board you have has the same firmware or not. The code and driver for Windows is here.

Doesn't work on the web site. But I found the manufatcurer. On Ubuntu terminal, with lsusb command I get this: Bus 006 Device 002: ID 1a86:7523 QinHeng Electronics HL-340 USB-Serial adapter So the manufacturer is QinHeng Electronics HL-340. How to go on?

I don't think I can help much here.

But there is a link in the website when you click on the specification ( to baidu or smth, I can't open that page because of the company's firewall), you may want to check. You may also want to test on a Windows machine to see if it works.

I bought it on this website. I don't know who is the manufacturer. Maybe on Ubuntu, lshd will reveal the manufacturer. Right? Let me check

Hi, It should be possible, but from the photo I can't find which board you are using. Please give me a link to the nRF24LU1 board you have. I suggest you to also contact the manufacturer of the board and ask them for instruction to program it.

How to do this? I have a this https://jpst.it/GH5l and I want to make arduino be commanded by computer where I will plug nRF24LU1 with USB Better explained: I want to command wireless my Arduino with my computer. So I have a nRF24L01 connected on Arduino, and I have a nRF24LU1 plugged on USB port of my notebook. I want to create a COM port to send signal to Arduino and vice versa. Now I don't know how to make a COM port using nRF24LU1. How to to that?

Hi,

You would need to let me know what kind of hardware you have with the nRF24LU1. Also the firmware on the nRF24LU1. The nRFGo Studio can only program the nRF24LU1 if you use the nRFGO Motherboard, or if you flashed the nRF24LU1 bootloader firmware.

Jlink Driver has nothing to do with nRF24 series, it's only for nRF51 series with Segger programmer.

But nRF Go Studio doesn't see the device. I think the driver is necessary! Do you think?

I haven't tried on Linux , but you don't need to install J-Link Segger driver for the nRF24LU1. The nRFGo Studio can program the nRF24LU1 directly, you don't need Jlink.
