I have always received great products that work great and stand behind them.

For those who have never purchased Maker Focus products, you will not find a more convenient source of products than this website. You'll remember the pale green box with the open source hardware logo on the front. I've always received great products that work great and stand behind their products. I know this sounds like a publicity stunt, but I really enjoy having a product that I know will work when I get it. And with Revain, you can get it FAST rather than waiting a month and hoping. Let's get back to reality. If you've used normal NRF24L01 boards before and looked at them and thought about how I can put an antenna on this thing and get a little extra reference. You'll find out very quickly it won't work. I'm sure someone might have figured out a way, but there's at best a chance it will work. The addition of a power amplifier and a low-noise receive amplifier added a whole new dimension to the placement of your builds. You don't have to have one on each side, but it really helps. The LNA greatly improves communication even when using a regular NRF24L01 board on one side. This pair is the perfect way to jump to long-distance connections. First, think about where your neighbors are located. These things operate on the same bands as the WiFi around you. If you mess up your neighbors' signal, you can quickly stop being their friend.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
