Using nRF24LU1+ as a COM port

[m0zjo]

Hello all!

I would like to use two nRF24LU1+ ICs to transfer information between two computers. Are there any .hex files for the nRF24LU1+ that will emulate a COM port to a Windows or Linux PC (if possible with modifiable baud rates)?

Also.... Am I able to write my own code for the nRF24LU1+?

The Dev Board model that I will be using: proto-pic.co.uk/.../

I have read on the forums that it is very easy to “brick” the nRF24LU1+ if there is a problem when uploading the firmware, am I able to “unbrick” the chips using an Arduino as a programmer or do Nordic specify a special programming device?

Many thanks

Jonathan

I would recommend you to contact Nordic support through MyPage system for code examples on the nRF24LU1+. www.nordicsemi.com/.../Support-Community

You are able to develop your own code and program the nRF24LU1+. Tools are available at: www.nordicsemi.com/.../nRF24LU1P

Not sure what's referred to as bricking the nRF24LU1+, but we did have some issues with customers that changed/erased the infopage on the NRF24LE1. This changed the behavior of the device, but it's possible to recover it if necessary.
