TTB #5: [Guest Post] Making a Simple RF Network

Tinker Thoughts 

Tinker Thoughts  This tutorial shows how to verify the frequency of the clock source on a microcontroller development board. The process is similar for a range of boards, but we will use the popular Nano. This is a good exercise to do as it helps the user get a more in-depth understanding of the Nano microcontroller development board.

In this project, we will be making a simple communication network using the Nordic nRF24L01+ set of RF modules. We will be making two nodes: a transmitter node (TxN), and a receiver node (RxN). The TxN consists of an Uno (more on that below), with the NRF-Shield. Also connected to it is the Sparkfun BME280 module via QWIIC to gather temperature data. The RxN also consists of an Uno with an NRF-Shield. However, it has an LCD connected to print out the transmitted temperature data.
