Alternatives to Arduino Nano with smaller size and works with NRF24l01

Bineet
Bineet 7 months ago

At present, I’m working on an RC plane project where communication is handled via the NRF24L01 module. Thus far, I have thought to utilize an Arduino Nano, however I find it a bit oversized for the limited space in my build. I need some alternatives that are smaller in size and are able to function seamlessly with the NRF24L01.

 Is there anyone who has used this form of compact microcontroller for such a purpose? Or are there any other microcontrollers or chips that you would suggest?

    There are tiny RP2040/RP2350 based modules, maybe one of those? The USB connector is on a separate PCB so it can be unplugged to save even more space. This is the Waveshare RP2040-Tiny specifically, but…

    How much smaller are you actually aiming for ? You could perhaps consider making your own μC PCB to make best use of the space you have available. The DFRobot Beetle is about half the size of the Nano…
