The NRF24L01 is a popular 2.4 GHz wireless transceiver module designed for low-power, short-range communication. It is widely used in wireless communication projects due to its small size, low cost, and ease of use. Here's a detailed description of the NRF24L01 module:

NRF24L01 Module Overview

1. Frequency Range:

   • Operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.

2. Communication Protocol:

   • SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface): Used for communication with microcontrollers.

3. Data Rate:

   • Supports multiple data rates: 250 kbps, 1 Mbps, and 2 Mbps.

4. Range:

   • Typically effective up to 100 meters in open space. Range may vary based on environment, antenna type, and interference.

5. Power Supply:

   • Operates at 1.9V to 3.6V.
   • For reliable operation, it is usually powered by 3.3V.

6. Power Consumption:

   • Transmit mode: ~11 mA
   • Receive mode: ~13 mA
   • Standby mode: ~900 µA
   • Power-down mode: ~1 µA

7. Pinout:

   • VCC: Power supply pin (3.3V).
   • GND: Ground pin.
   • CE (Chip Enable): Used to activate the transceiver for transmitting or receiving data.
   • CSN (Chip Select Not): Active-low pin used to select the SPI device.
   • SCK (Serial Clock): SPI clock pin.
   • MOSI (Master Out Slave In): SPI data input pin.
   • MISO (Master In Slave Out): SPI data output pin.
   • IRQ (Interrupt Request): Used to signal interrupts from the module.

8. Features:

   • Automatic Retransmission: Can automatically retransmit data if the first attempt fails.
   • Auto Ack: Automatic acknowledgment of received data packets.
   • 6-Pipe Receive FIFO: Supports multiple channels (pipes) for receiving data.
   • Configurable Power and Data Rates: Adjustable to meet specific application needs.

Applications:

• Wireless Sensor Networks: Communicates between sensors and a central node.
• Remote Controls: Used in wireless remote control devices for various applications.
• Wireless Data Transfer: Enables data transmission between microcontrollers or computers without the need for physical connections.
• IoT Projects: Facilitates communication in Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

// Define the pin where the Vibration Sensor is connected
const int vibrationPin = 7;  // Digital Pin 7 (You can change this pin)
int vibrationState = 0;      // Variable to hold the vibration state

void setup() {
  // Initialize serial communication
  Serial.begin(9600);
  
  // Set the vibration sensor pin as input
  pinMode(vibrationPin, INPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Read the state of the vibration sensor
  vibrationState = digitalRead(vibrationPin);

  // If vibration is detected (high state)
  if (vibrationState == HIGH) {
    Serial.println("Vibration Detected!");
  }
  // If no vibration is detected (low state)
  else {
    Serial.println("No Vibration.");
  }

  // Wait for a short period before checking again
  delay(500);
