Of course you can solder headers as well. There is room on the board for a 0805 capacitor (0.1\u00b5F-10\u00b5F are sometimes used to prevent power issues while transmitting). The VCC and GND as well as the optional IRQ pins of the radio are broken out on solder pads and have to be wired manually, since I didn&#8217;t want to make the adapter too big and still leave some flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>Eagle files:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thinkering.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/NRF24proMini.rar\">NRF24proMini<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Atmega328P and nRF24l01+ combo is also a quite common thing to use over and over again in wireless sensor nodes, remote controls and so on.
