NRF24L01

[Aleksey]

Good day!

I purchased the nRF24L01 Evolution Kit, but:

1. The driver and software that comes with the board, only under Windows XP. Are there drivers and software for Windows 7 or Windows 10?

2. With the help of the program that comes with the module, you can only configure the radio module.

Is there any software with which I can download the program to the microcontroller via USB?  

Is there any software with which I can organize the reception / transmission of any information between the radio modules?

Hi Aleksey

The nRF24L01+ EVKIT does not run properly on Windows 7 and newer, due to the 3rd-party USB controller chip on the devkit being unsupported. Only Windows XP is supported. There are no newer drivers. Sorry for the inconvenience

A workaround could be to use some sort of VM(virtual machine) runing Windows XP. See the comments in this post.

By "software with which I can download the program to the MCU via USB" do you mean an IDE, like Keil uVision, or something like the nRFGo Studio and SDK (You can also download the getting started guide from that last link, which will be helpful)

The nRF24 series is outdated at this point, so for new designs I urge you to take a look at the nRF52 series SoCs instead.

Best regards,

Simon
