Arduino-STM32-nRF24L01

Arduino stm32 support files for nRF24L01 RF modules

Arduino_Core_STM32 supports SPI library, but only works in Transaction SPI Mode.

  • Legacy SPI Mode
    SPI speed depends on the CPU frequency.
    STM32 does not work because it has various CPU frequencies.
SPI.begin()
SPI.setClockDivider(divider)
SPI.setDataMode(mode)
SPI.setBitOrder(order)
SPI.transfer(data);
  • Transaction SPI Mode
    SPI speed NOT depends on the CPU frequency.
    Therefore, it works correctly with STM32.
SPI.begin()
SPI.beginTransaction(SPISettings(speed, order, mode))
SPI.transfer(data);
SPI.endTransaction()

This repository works with Transaction SPI Mode.

Memory usage

  • Transmitter
Sketch uses 3054 bytes (9%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 272 bytes (13%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1776 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
  • Receiver
Sketch uses 2796 bytes (8%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 248 bytes (12%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1800 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

Important

When changing the settings of the nRF24L01, it is necessary to power cycle the nRF24L01 before executing.
Because nRF24L01 remembers the previous setting.
nRF24L01 does not have Software Reset function.

Software requirements

When using STM32/ESP8266, you need to install the core library.
There is some core library for STM32.
I used this.

Tested board

  • Arduino Uno(Nano, ProMini etc.)
Nrf24l Mirf = Nrf24l(10, 9); // CE,CSN
 * VCC  3.3V
 * MISO 12
 * MOSI 11
 * SCK  13
 * CE   10
 * CSN  9

Serial.print is output to Arduino Serial Monitor.

Note
UNO's 3.3V output can only supply 50mA.
In addition, the output current capacity of UNO-compatible devices is smaller than that of official products.
So nRF24L01 may not work normally when supplied from the on-board 3v3.
nRF24L01+PA+LNA(nRF24L01+RFX24C01) needs 115mA.
You will need to power it from the 5V pin using a regulator.

It is necessary to remap SPI and separate NRF24 and on board flash.

void setup()
{
  SPI.setMOSI(PB15);
  SPI.setMISO(PB14);
  SPI.setSCLK(PB13);

The following works when you remap SPI.

Nrf24l Mirf = Nrf24l(PB0, PB1); // CE,CSN
 * VCC  3.3V

 * MOSI PB15
 * SCK  PB13
