Our reader (V.K.) send article by inoperative wireless module NRF24L01 with integrated amplifier, which works on frequency 2.4GHz. His project was function with module with integrated antenna, but project with integrated amplifier didn’t work.

“I have owned wireless module NDRF24L01 with integrated antenna, extern antenna and module with extern antenna and amplifier. The module NRF24L01 with integrated antenna on the PCB were used in one device. Everything worked well until I ordered different version with extern antenna and amplifier for longer distance. The connection of connectors were same, but the module didn’t work. “

THE TRANSLATION WORK IN PROGRESS!!!

Solution: Add capacitors to supply pins or change header because the headers have a big contact resistance.
