2. Soldering the headers Before using your clickTM 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 S click 1 TM 2 Turn the board upside down so that the bottom side is facing you upwards. Place shorter pins of the header into the appropriate soldering pads. 3 Turn the board upward again. Make sure to align the headers so that they are perpendicular to the board, then solder the pins carefully. 1. Introduction nRF S clickTM is a compact and easy solution for adding a 2.4 GHz transceiver to your design. It features nRF24L01P 2.4 GHz transceiver module with an embedded baseband protocol engine as well as an SMA antenna connector (antenna sold separately). nRF S clickTM communicates with the target board microcontroller via mikroBUSTM SPI (SDI, SDO, SCK, CS#), CE and INT lines. The board is designed to use 3.3V power supply only. 3. Plugging the board in Once you have soldered the headers your board is ready to be placed into the desired mikroBUSTM socket. Make sure to align the cut in the lower-right part of the board with the markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUSTM socket. If all the pins are aligned correctly, push the board all the way into the socket. 4. Essential features nRF S clickTM with its 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. click TM BOARD www.mikroe.com nRF S click Manual v100 0100000076071 7.
