NRF24L01 compatibility with NRF24L01+

[Mauro]

Hello all,

I would like to ask you something,

I've done all my development with NRF24L01+ but now I have some NRF24L01 modules.

I know that NRF24L01+ is fully compatible with NRF24L01, but the other way around, is it also true?

What are the differences between the two?

Best regards, Mauro.

Hi Mauro,

Yes, nRF24L01 is compatible with nRF24L01+ both ways. The nRF24L01+ has better receiver sensitivity than the nRF24L01, only the nRF24L01+ features the 250kbps data speed mode, and only the nRF24L01 has a LNA gain setting. As long as you don't use the 250 kbps data speed mode on the nRF24L01+, you will be able to establish a link between a nRF24L01+ and a nRF24L01.

Best regards, Jon Gunnar

to communicate between them, NRF24L01+ and NRF24L01 must work in ShockBurst mode,so EN_AA =0 and ARC=0; As to the date rate, you can choose either 250Kbps or 1Mbps.
