Does anyone know of a module or dev board with a FTDI FT2232 (USB to SPI), coupled to a nRF24L01 (or similar), preferrably with a SMA RF port?

When it comes down to it, I need to attach a nRF24L01 to a PC’s USB port. And it would be really nice having ready-made win32 drivers/DLLs available (like what FTDI has)…

Thanks,

Pete

It would probably be easier to use a PIC18F2450. The USB code is available and there is 18F code for the nRF24L01. I’ve designed a little PCB for the 18F2450 (available from Olimex):

which could be used with the SFE MiRF V2.

Leon:

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I cannot seem to get to the [www.leonheller.com/us](http://www.leonheller.com/us) at the moment.

FTDI’s ready-made USB driver and SPI DLL sound like they would likely save quite a bit of time. Would there be anything similar for your PCI USB solution?

Thanks,

Pete

I am also looking for a USB solution. Currently have pic18f2620 with

uart working. Hardware change to 2650 would be simple. Software to use

USB is huge.
