Is there any other better nRF IC than nRF52832 suggested for nRF24L01P RSSI Measurement

[VENSHE]

Hi,

I am using nRF24L01P and facing issue of RF Performance varies with batch to batch of nRF24L01P with built-in Antenna. To evaluate the performance of the IC and Antenna, can I use nRF52832 for measuring RSSI of nRF24L01P Transmitter? Is there any other new and better nRF IC you suggest for this task? Do I need to go for any built in Antenna module of nRF52832 or Evaluation kit towards this evaluation? Is there any standard Code available for both nRF24L01P and nRF52832, so that I can quickly hook-up the set-up and perform this evaluation? Can you get me the link for these codes?

Regards,

Venkatesh

Hi,

 

I doubt the nRF52840 Dongle can be used with the nRF Sniffer as it does not have a debugger onboard, and I do not think nRF Sniffer can be used against nRF24 anyway. You can however use nRF52840 dongle with nRF Connect for desktop, which has a RSSI-viewer application, and this does not discriminate any protocols.

The nRF52840 dongle can be loaded with the same SW as a development kit, but as it does not have a debugger on-board some precautions must be taken. See this tutorial for explanation.

 

Best regards,
