Updated (works!-ish)

I have a project that uses the non-extended version of the nrf24l01+ module. From what I've read online these powered modules should be a 'spare' but after hours of frustration I finally gave up and gave up trying to use them as such. The company links you to an Arduino library called Mirf that you should download and use. As far as I can tell, this code is pretty old, so I tried using newer libraries instead as they seemed to have what I was looking for (grid support, p2p, etc.). For some reason they don't like it. . If you stick to the libraries/code from their example, everything seems to be working fine. For reference I used SPI.h, RF24L01.h, RF24.h in my source code (most tutorials use them). These are the ones I couldn't get to work. I'm sure someone has more experience than me, but I don't have that level of skill yet. From the tutorial SPI.h, Mirf.h, nRF24L01.h, MirfHardwareSpiDriver.h are the libraries that finally gave me a chance to get this thing working (I didn't find any tutorial videos using this). In any case, I'm swapping mine out to review and rate as they are actually not faulty. My understanding of devices was wrong. This product should not reflect my incompetence.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Almost everything is there
