Where are the examples for nrf51822 using 2.4 GHz in SDK?

Hi,

1. The device may be talking to a TX/RX station (connected to the Windows PC via USB) that uses an nRF24LU1+ so I'm guessing I will need to use ESB for compatibility. Do I need to load a stack (Soft Device) on the nRF51822 for that, or is it not needed?

2. Later on, we may also upgrade the Tx/RX station to use an nRF51822, but they will need to be backward compatible. In that case, even with both ends using nRF51 devices, I should still use the ESB (and not Gazell) protocol to be compatible with older nRF24L-based legacy devices, right?

3. If I decide to eventually use Gazell, does it require that a SoftDevice be loaded on the nRF51822? Or do I only need a SD if I use Bluetooth (which I'm not using for this project)?

Thank you!

Cheers, Gil

1. There's no softdevice for proprietary/ESB on the nRF51822. There's a pre-compiled library for ESB or Gazell functionality.

2. Gazell is built on top of ESB, so as long as the device you plan to use supports ESB, you could also use Gazell. But for example the nRF24L01+ are lacking code examples for Gazell.

3. No need for a softdevice for Gazell. Gazell is as ESB on the nRF51-family a pre-compiled library.

Good luck:)
