I have worked with the NRF905 radio transceiver in the past as part of a weather station. At the time I wasn’t entirely happy about the code for the radio as it felt a little hacky. Like many others before me I vowed “This time I’m going to do it right” 🙂 so I have set about rewriting the radio part in a more object oriented way. I have put together a transceiver pair as shown below and I intend working on the code to simply the NRF905 application interface as much as I can. Right now there is little abstraction going on – that needs to change.
The transceiver pair consists of a couple of NRF905’s wired to some STM32F030’s mounted on breakout boards. These are wire-wrapped together and a full schematic will eventually be posted along with the code over on github
Update 19-Nov-2019
I have updated the code on github with a tighter interface to the nrf905 class. I also did an initial range test and was getting error free line of sight range of about 200m @ 10dBm. The transmitter was on top of a car and the receiver was at about 1m above the ground. Transmitter and receiver had 1/4 wave monopole antennae. A longer range is possible if you are not concerned about the odd missing packet.
