The RF24 module is great, but the powerboard is a non-working clone

The RF module is good, everything is soldered and looks good. . It's the wrong design. On the power board: 4 CAPs are tiny, much smaller than the product picture. However, the real problem here is that whoever created this cheap fake wired it up wrong. The 4 CAPs should connect the 3.3V output lines and the 5V input lines to GND (2 pins each), however the VIA next to the caps should be connected to ground via the ground plane on the back of the board, but it is 't! A real power board has a ground plane on the back, but this board has nothing on the back. Whoever copied this forgot to add the ground plane at the back! So you get 4 CAPs connected together but not grounded! So you get a 3.3V power board with no external regulation other than what the AMS1117 can provide, which means the RF module will just fail horribly because the 3.3V power supply is not stable.

Pros
  • Network transceiver
Cons
  • There are nuances
