NRF24L01 Interfacing with Arduino | Wireless Communication

In this tutorial, you will learn about NRF24L01 Arduino interfacing with the help of two examples. In the rst
example, we will send “Hello world” and a command to blink the LED connected to the other Arduino. In the second
example, we will do the bidirectional control and will send the command from First Arduino to blink the LED on the
second and then we will send the command from second Arduino to blink the LED on the rst.

Interfacing | Wireless Communication

NRF24L01 Module
The NFR24L01 is a transceiver module which means that it can both send and receive the data.

These modules are very cheap, smaller in size and has a lot of speci cations. Some of the speci cations of these
modules are as follows

Speci cations of NRF24L01 Module

·         Power consumption is around 12mA during transmission which is even lesser than the led.

·         It can operate with baud rates from 250Kbps up to 2 Mbps.

·         Its range can reach up to 100 meters if used in open space and with antenna.

·         It can both send and receive the data simultaneously.

·         Each module can communicate with up to 6 other modules.

·         It uses the 2.4 GHz band.

·         It can send 1 to 25 bytes of raw data at the transmission rate of 1 MB.

·         It has 125 di erent channels.

Pin out
The NRF24L01 module works with the Arduino through the SPI communication. The pinout of the module is as
follows

(https://i0.wp.com/electronicshobbyists.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/word-image-10.png)

The operating voltage of this module is from 1.9 to 3.6V but the other pins are 5V tolerant which means that the
other pins can be directly connected to the Arduino.

The MOSI, MISO and the SCK are the SPI pins and these needs to be connected to the SPI pins of Arduino. Di erent
Arduino’s have di erent SPI pins.

The CSN and CE are for setting the module in active mode and for switching between command and transmit mode.
These can be connected to any digital pins of Arduino.

The IRQ pin is the interrupt pin and you don’t have to connect it.

Example 1 for Nrf24l01 Arduino Interfacing

In the rst example for nrf24l01 arduino interfacing, we are going to simply send the data from one Arduino to other
Arduino. When we will press the button connected to the rst Arduino, LED connected to the second Arduino will
light up.

Example 2 for Nrf24l01 Arduino Interfacing

In the second example for Nrf24l01 Arduino interfacing, we are going to do the bidirectional communication. First,
we will send the command from the rst Arduino to light up the LED connected to the second Arduino and then we
will send the command from the second Arduino to light up the LED connected to the rst Arduino.

To send data for controlling more than one led using nrf24l01, you can send an array containing multiple
values.
Receive this array on the receiver side, get value for each pin from this array and control the LED’s.

Thank you for the nice tutorial, I tried the rst set up with 2 Arduino uno and it worked for the serialprint when it
is high or low but the digital output (led) did not work, I tried di erent pins but it was the same! any idea?

I looked at the code and the output in the setup was Pin6 instead of Pin3, although the declaration of Pin3 was
made earlier in the program.

Hello brother
i am working on nrf24l01
i have an issue
i have a sensor on transmitter it print 2 button state ONN & OFF
in receiver i have connected relay as output which is HIGH at ONN and LOW at OFF
this is working correctly but if i have lost my transmitter signal
relay will be in last condition till new signal not come
i want to make such coding that if signal not come from transmitter due to some reasons
relay should be o automatically it cannot be in his last condition

Hi, you can make a counter and set a value after which the relay will be o .

if (counter > 1000){

counter = 0
}

I interface the NRF module to Arduino to control wireless light intensity control for cluster control led light i
connected only one light but i don’t know how to control heavy load (16 Amps) lights through arduino and NRF
module please give some idea to implement this project Thank you

Hello. I can’t get this to work. I don’t receive text on the receiver side nor can I get it to toggle the led. Do you
know what I might have done wrong? (I’ve used the exact same code and built both schematics twice)

Thank You Muhammad!!

I added a piezo buzzer with a frequency of 750 Hz, pos side of piezo to Pin 6 and neg side thru a 100 ohm resistor
to any ground terminal, and I also increased delay at the bottom of the loop to 15. Everything works great. Here is
the expanded Rx code. * Note: No changes were made to Tx code.

Can you make example for 4ch version?
