nrf24l01

A platform agnostic driver to interface with the nRF24L01 (2.4GHz Wireless)

Overview

Using this crate you can send and receive data wirelessly over 2.4 GHz using a supported target of embedded-hal. This is done using the nRF24L01 module. These modules can be found for cheap (< 2$) in various well known chinese stores.

This implementation is basically a port from https://github.com/aaronds/arduino-nrf24l01

This means you can communicate with nRF24L01 modules wired to an Arduino (for example).

Example

Here is a simple example for using the nRF24L01 on a stm32f103xx device with stm32f103xx_hal. It implements an echo server that expects a payload of 4 bytes.

This means it can be used as the server for the Mirf Arduino client example: https://github.com/aaronds/arduino-nrf24l01/blob/master/Mirf/examples/ping_client/ping_client.pde
