What is different in this RF transceiver compared to this NRF24L01+ transceiver? They are basically the same! Same pinout, same chip, same code. The difference is range (and hence power). That's where the "PA" and "LNA" come in:
- PA = Power amplifier. Boosts the power of the transmitted signal.
- LNA = Low-noise amplifier. Amplify weak/uncertain signals coming in from the antenna.
Is the PA+LNA right for your project? Likely yes. The added range is nice. Even if your communication nodes are close by. The NRF24L01+ (without the PA+LNA) is good for experimentation/learning or if you need to communicate within short distances (say a remote-controlled car or similar close-range projects).
**********
This RF transceiver is a well-known and popular wireless module. A large online community helps support countless tutorials and resources. We have several tutorials, many of which include the NRF24L01+PA+LNA. See for example our tutorial on getting started with the NRF24L01+ (COMING SOON).
The NRF24L01+PA+LNA is easy to use and integrates very well with many of the common microcontrollers, such as the Nano. An expected range is about 1100meters depending on the environmental conditions. A straight line-of-sight in ideal conditions is best. This module is easy to add to a breadboard or prototyping board to give your project wireless capabilities.
Note that this version of the NRF24L01 is physically longer and therefore has two grounded holes that each can hold a 1x1Pin. We encourage the user to make use of this so that the PCB is more secure. These two pins DO NOT come pre-soldered or included in the package. Please diagram below.
