ah, ok i understand, certainly we useSTM8L for MCU interface with NRF24.

First i will check all parameter: current, ...

Thnk you again.

Hi Alseth, thank you your support.

when i order NRF24L01 IC, did new IC have firmware or not?

I am out of office, i will check the curent consumtion tomorrow.

If the curent consumtion the same NRF24L01+, i will re-check our board matching RF part by mesure conduction RF.

No, it should not be different. It can be beneficial to scope the SPI lines, and in addition, check the current consumption of the board (bad and good boards) to see if there is any difference.

yes, now i try to measure RF conduction,

Do you think matching circuit of NRF24L01 is different NRF24L01+.

Hi,

The nRF24L01 and nRF24L01+ shall be compatible in terms of firmware and hardware.

Have you debugged your solution to see how it fails?

Kind regards,

Håkon
