2. Soldering the headers Before using your click board, make sure to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers are included with the board in the package. 1 nRF S click 2 3 4. Essential features nRF S click with its nRF24L01P IC is designed for operation in the world wide ISM frequency band at 2.400 - 2.4835 GHz. The board supports an air data rate of 250 Kbps, 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps and it is suitable for ultra low power designs. All these features make this board ideal for wireless PC peripherals, Turn the board upside down so that Turn the board upward again. Make sure remotes, VoIP headsets, game controllers, the bottom side is facing you upwards. to align the headers so that they are sensors, home and commercial automation, Place shorter pins of the header into the perpendicular to the board, then solder the active RFID, toys and many more. appropriate soldering pads. pins carefully. 1. Introduction nRF S click is a compact and easy solution for 3. Plugging the board in adding a 2.4 GHz transceiver to your design. click It features nRF24L01P 2.4 GHz transceiver Once you have soldered the headers your module with an embedded baseband board is ready to be placed into the desired BOARD protocol engine as well as an SMA antenna mikroBUS socket. Make sure to align the cut www.mikroe.com connector (antenna sold separately). nRF S in the lower-right part of the board with the click communicates with the target board markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUS microcontroller via mikroBUS SPI (SDI, SDO, socket. If all the pins are aligned nRF S click Manual v100 SCK, CS ), CE and INT lines. The board is correctly, push the board designed to use 3.3V power supply only. all the way into the socket. 01000000760715. Schematic 7. Alternative antennas options Two other click boards with the nRF24L01P chip, but with different antennas are available.
