Power (?) issues with the NRF24L01+PA+LNA

Projects General Guidance

Hello,

I have 2 NRF24L01+PA+LNA modules, that I am trying to use with an Arduino Nano (Also have an STM32 Nucleo C0 if that would work better?) and a Teensy 4.1.

I have been trying to get these to work, but they always seem to transmit a few messages, and then either completely cease operation (rx fails), or just occasionally successfully transmit to each other.

I am connecting it directly to each of these boards, using their on board power regulators to power the modules. I have now seen that these most likely need to have an external power source, so I was wondering how I can power them so that they can work?

I have battery packs with capacity for 4 AA batteries, would those work in powering these modules?

Thanks!

NRF24L10 modules have problems being powered from small micros such as the Nano - have a look at 2-nrf24l01s-not-communicating-properly

Sometimes maybe it will wore sometimes maybe not. Is it reliable? No.
