mikroElektronika nRF C Click User manual

1. Introduction
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into desired
mikroBUS™ socket. Make sure to align the
cut in the lower-right part of the board
with the markings on the silkscreen at the
mikroBUS™ socket. If all of the pins are
aligned correctly, push the board all the way
into the socket.

4. Essential features
Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
Turn the board upside down so that
bottom side is facing you upwards. Place
shorter parts of the header pins in both
soldering pad locations.
Before using your click board™, make sure
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left
and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male
headers are included with the board in
the package.

nRF C click Manual
ver. 1.01
nRF C Click™is an add-on board in mikroBUS™
form factor. It’s a compact and easy solution
for adding 2.4 GHz transceiver to your design.
It features nRF24L01P 2.4 GHz transceiver
module with an embedded baseband protocol
engine as well as 2.4 GHz SMD chip antenna.
nRF C Click™communicates with target
board microcontroller via mikroBUS™ SPI
(SDI, SDO, SCK, CS#), CE and INT lines.
The board is designed to use 3.3V power
supply only. LED diode (green) indicates
the presence of power supply.
nRF C click
nRF C Click™ with it’s nRF24L01P IC is
designed for operation in the world wide ISM
frequency band at 2.400 - 2.4835 GHz. The
board supports an air data rate of 250 Kbps,
1 Mbps and 2 Mbps and it is suitable for ultra
low power designs. All these features make
this board ideal for wireless PC peripherals,
remotes, VoIP headsets, game controllers,
sensors, home and commercial automation,
active RFID, toys and many more.
