The advantages of using the NRF24L01 Transceiver module are:. These modules can either be used with a 3.3V microcontroller or a 5V microcontroller but they should have an SPI port. The NRF24L01 module works with the help of SPI communications.

So if you are looking for a wireless module with the above properties then this module would be an ideal choice for you. Hence mesh networks or other types of networks are possible using this module. Each module has an address range of 125 and each module can communicate with 6 other modules hence it is possible to have multiple wireless units communicating with each other in a particular area. The module operates at 3.3V hence can be easily used with 3.2V systems or 5V systems. The modules when operated efficiently can cover a distance of 100 meters (200 feet) which makes it a great choice for all wireless remote-controlled projects. They operate at the frequency of 2.4GHz, which falls under the ISM band, and hence it is legal to use in almost all countries for engineering applications. The nRF24L01 is a wireless transceiver module, meaning each module can both send as well as receive data. Other than these we will use Joystick modules to give the commands. The Receiver circuit will continuously receive the signals that will be sent by our Transmitter and it will pass that signal to the Flight Controller which according to that signal will control the motors ultimately controlling the drone.īoth the circuits will be Arduino-based we will be using Arduino UNOs for the Transmitter and Receiver Circuit but other than that we will use NRF24L01 Radio Transceiver modules for the transfer of data between Transmitter and Receiver.

The second one is the Receiver Circuit which will be placed on our Quadcopter and will be connected to the Flight Controller. We will send the controlling commands to our drone using this Transmitter. The first one is for the Transmitter which will act as the Remote Controller of the Drone. In this tutorial, we are going to make two different circuits. In the first part of the series, we made the Flight Controller of our Drone which you can check out from here. In this part, we are going to make a Transmitter and Receiver pair of our own which is based on Arduino as well. This is the second part of Arduino based drone series. Hey, what's up, Guys!
