NRF24L01+ communicating with Microbit
NRF24L01+ communicating with Microbit
I have used the NRF24L01+ between two Arduinos. Has anyone managed to talk to the microbit using this module. Nordic tell me that if both radios use the Nordic Semiconductor’s Enhanced ShockBurst protocol (ESP) then all should be fine. I came across just one YouTube video where a guy does some simple comms by using carrier detect.

I do not know for sure, but I don't think this is possible if the micro:bit is running the default MicroPython firmware (i.e. using the "radio" module).pmulvey wrote: ↑Wed Mar 10, 2021 2:52 pmI have used the NRF24L01+ between two Arduinos.

However, I think this is possible in general -- you can make the nRF5x in the micro:bit (v1 and v2) do ESP, but you'd have to write a driver (in C) for it.
