nrf

http://start.tessel.io/modules/nrf

The nRF24 Module is used for wireless communication without WiFi. It's great for low-power mesh communication between Tessels. The nRF24 module can only communicate to other nRF24 modules, so for this example we'll need two Tessels each with their own nRF24 module. If you have an Arduino with an nRF24 module, you can talk to the Arduino instead with an alternate nrf24 example. Make a directory inside your "tessel-code" folder: enter. Into your command line, then change directory into that folder:.

Make a directory inside your "tessel-code" folder: enter. Into your command line, then change directory into that folder:. If you have something to turn on and off with the Relay module, cut the power wire, strip the ends to expose the wire, and insert the two exposed ends into port 1 on the Relay module. (If you don't have something to plug in at the moment, you can still continue; you won't see anything turn on or off, but the relay makes an audible clicking noise when it latches.). What are you making?
