Multiple NRF24L01 modules and 2.4ghz Turnigy radio QUESTION

Projects Networking, Protocols, and Devices

Hello, I am thinking of creating a small network with NRF modules both high and low range types. I am a little skeptical because I will be using a Turnigy TGY-i6 2.4ghz radio in the near vicinity to control my airplane as well.

My question is whether the NRF modules will cause interference with the Turnigy radio system or not since they are both operating on the same 2.4 Ghz band.

Thanks!

There are so many things working on the 2.4GHz band that a few more won't matter.

I hope not, the radio has AFHDS [Automatic frequency hopping] too, which I assume will filter out the NRFs communication, and I also want to fix all the NRFs to a channel of their own. But again, I don't like to assume.

If there is a test I can perform please let me know. I have access to lab equipment too if I ever need an oscilloscope or whatever is used to test wireless devices.

Thanks.

I doubt if there is. If there were gross inteference it would show up just by switching on the nRF24s and the Turnigy system. But if there is just a risk of a problem when Wednesday falls on the 13th day of the month ....

And how can you guard against a neighbour having 23 nRF24s working ...
