What is the difference between NRF24L01 and NRF24L01+?
Here’s the difference: The NRF24L01+ is a newer version of the NRF24L01, capable of doing an extra 250kbps of on-air data rate while the one without “+” has only 1Mbps and 2Mbps. Both versions can be mixed together as long as 1 or 2 MBps is being used as the data rate.
What is nRF24?
The Nordic nRF24 is a family of silicon integrated radio transceivers operating in the 2.4GHz band, the most popular one being the nRF24L01. This is the core element of some extremely cheap module boards available in online stores like eBay, Aliexpress and Banggood.
What is the range of NRF24L01?

How do you increase the range of NRF24L01+?
Long range RF link using NRF24L01+ RF Transceiver You get a better range when using lower bitrates. High power units can overload nearby units. There are a lot of possible combinations of units and operational modes.
How do I know if nrf24 is working?
Test Experiment Connect one NRF24L01 to Uno R3 and the other to Mega2560. The nRF24L01 module on the UNO constantly sends data, and that on the Mega2560 receives data. Open the IDE and then Serial Monitor for the two boards respectively, and then compare the data sent and received to test whether it succeeds.
What is the use of NRF24L01?
The NRF24L01 is an 8-pin wireless transceiver module with special pins that enable communication in all boards and microcontrollers. This device is used for interfacing with an Arduino Or an external microcontroller through the pin functions.
Is nRF24L01 a Bluetooth?
Today we will learn to use the NRF24L01 module as a BLE module with Arduino. Many times you may have come across that term called BLE, which stands for Bluetooth Low Energy, and it is basically a highly optimized version of Bluetooth.
How do I connect my nRF24L01 to my laptop?
If you want to communicate with your PC you have three options: Choose nRF24L01. In this case, since the PC does not have that device, you will need to make an adapter (the easiest one could be an USB adapter). You can connect a microcontroller to a USB to serial converter and to the nRF24L01 and use it as a bridge.
