Description:
A sweet breakout of Nordic's new nRF24LU1 chip! This chip is basically an 8051 microcontroller with an nRF24L01 strapped to it! The breakout provides the chip and all necessary support passives to make it go! The chip comes pre-programmed with a serial bootloader that only requires TX, RX, /RESET, and GND to work!
Features:
MCU: Enhanced 8-bit 8051-compatible microcontroller with 16 kB program flash memory, 2 kbytes SRAM, nRF24L01-compatible RF transceiver, 3 16-bit timers/counters, AES encryption/decryption co-processor, full-speed USB 2.0-compliant device controller, 6 GPIO, 32-bit multiplication-division unit, SPI, UART
On-chip bootloader is compatible with SDCC C compiler
On-board 800 mA 3.3V regulator
Power LED
RESET button
On-board chip antenna (no external antenna needed!)
Up to 2Mbps on-air data rate
Air-compatible with nRF24L01, nRF2401A, nRF2402, nRF24E1, and nRF24E2
Not RoHS-compliant!If using USB, you must provide resistors and capacitors for D+ and D- externally!
