NRF240L

[Radwa Ahmed]

Hello there, I need to ask if these two; NRF M 24L01+1712AB , NRF M 24L01+1609AH (one with external Antenna) are still supported and have official libraries , and if not supported it will be totally appreciated to suggest what is the better NRF type to use.
I am building NRF Network in Mesh Topology, where the most critical aspect is the power consumption; it should be very low then comes the range that if high will be great regardless of the bandwidth it could be low.

Thanks a lot in advance, your help is totally appreciated.

Hello,

The nRF24L01+ is a product that is in volume production, and various modules exists by third party manufacturers. However the product is >10years old, and there have not been any new software development the last decade.

For new development you should check out the nRF52-series, for instance the nRF52810 that is a complete system on chip solution with mcu, radio, and a range of gpios and serial interfaces. Also there is a range of pre-qualifed modules listed here: https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-tools/3rd-Party/3rd-party-modules

For new development check out:

A free commercial license of the Segger Embedded Studio IDE is available when developing with nRF products. Getting a few nRF52-DK is the preferred starting point.

Best regards,
Kenneth

Thanks a lot for your reply, it is totally appreciated.
But currently I am building a WSN , and I am looking for just a transceiver and not a complete system on chip,
I need recent series that is very alike to NRF24L01 (just transceiver), and also is supported by openthread.

Sorry, there is no new transceiver only after the nRF24L01.

Best regards,
Kenneth
