Description
The RN24 transforms your product’s serial interface
into a wireless connection. The RN24 is a Class 1
Bluetooth radio with auto-connect and connect on RX
data features, enabling your product to transfer data
up to 100M. The RN24 accepts a wide range of
unregulated DC power. The DIP packaging with
GPIO, UART interfaces and AD converter makes it
the perfect prototyping module and allows products to
have optional Bluetooth capability when the module
is plugged in.
