This adapter works fine with the nRF24L01+ family of boards.
You need to connect the ground of the circuit on the left to the ground of the device that is controlling it!
Also, make sure the capcitors are as close to the NRF as possible. I got some surface mount ones that I solder directly across the power pins (on the back side of the board) and no problems at all.
Skywatch.
Yeah thanks, I changed the position of the capacitor and connected the ground to the Nano and the NRFs started working, but when I connect a high power module to only the receiver, there seems to be more latency then the low power modules, any possible reasons?
For now, I don't think I can use a high power module on the transmitter as the regulator only outputs 150ma, when I tried it with the high powered one, it didn't work at all, the low power works fine.
@Frostburn, you need to post a complete diagram showing all the connections.
I asked earlier what regulator chip are you using? The LD1117 / LD33 that I use can provide 800mA
...R
Measure the voltage across the gnd and power pins on the nrf module for the low power and high power modules when in use. It is possible the hi power one is drawing more current and if the regulator cannot supply it then the voltage will likely drop below the minimum required.
Since it is the same chip and sofrware there should be no noticable difference, so you need to become the investigator and look at voltages, connections etc to see if you can locate the problem.
Are you sure you never powered the nRF24 with 5 VDC? I've inadvertently done that and it will ruin the unit immediately.
I have 2 nanos with nRF24 and the breakout board, maybe this vid will help, i have posted the code as well?
