Recommend NRF24L01 for DEVO 7E was created by ohaya
I was wondering which is the recommended one for the DEVO 7E now?

Would this one work well?

Ebay Item #261718515998 [This forum doesn't seem to like the link to Ebay?]

I'm potentially also looking for the module to control Hubsans.

Can both the NRF24L01 and the Hubsan module be in the DEVO 7E at the same time?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi,

I guess that for the Hubsan support, I'd prefer if I could harvest the needed module from one of my H107L controllers (I have a spare one) or the Proto-X controller.

What do I look for in those?

Thanks,
Jim

I recommend looking at the NRF24L01 module on MassiveRC.com. He has the cables, antenna and docs and the module he sells is the right one. Most people have no problem repurposing harvested parts, but remember this will be your TX of choice for a long time and for a number of relatively expensive devices, so look for good quality.

I got my first A7105 module from China, and had to replace it, so the replacement came from MassiveRC.

Arguably you could buy any one of a dozen different boards, because they are pretty common. I chose the NRF at MassiveRC with an antenna I could disconnect... Hackmods.com has a description of how to repurpose the existing antenna housing on the 7e.

There are a lot who have done this in a lot of different ways... I hadn't soldered in many years but I know electronics, so this approach worked for me.

Hi,

Thanks. If you don't mind, do you have a specific link?

Any idea about Hubsan and if that can co-exist with that one?

You got it.

For the NRF24L01 use the Antenna, pigtail, and cable listed under accessories. For the A7105 (Hubsan) use:
www.massiverc.com/PrestaShop/en/332-a710...sceiver-antenna.html

These modules coexist nicely.

Be sure to go through the material at Hackmods.com and DeviationTX.com (read documents on Module installation).

Good luck, and safe flying.

I took too long and Massive ran out of the boards, but I went ahead and got the ribbon cable, pigtail, and antenna and hopefully they'll get more boards in.

Does anyone know if there's anywhere else in the U.S. that carries those boards with the same SMA antenna connector?

Thanks,
Jim
