nerfnet: Streaming Video over nRF24L01 2.4GHz Radios

In this video I will show you how I was able to stream h.265 over a wireless link based on the ultra-cheap NRF24L01 radios. This is a followup video to my previous video (link below) where I was able to demonstrate 90kbps throughput. I have since tripled that to ~270kbps and this video explains how.

Extremely cool! I would love to see a follow up, where you leave the Quality as it is or lower it and try to higher the range it could be possible by shielding and using more power, different antenna etc.

Very very cool!! I am currently using these modules for my arduino communication, but I am glad there is even more potential for me in the coming future. Great video man! subscribed :)

[carlosblanco]

FINALLY!!! This is great! I wonder if this can be done using an ESP32-Cam module and an HC-12 transmitter. I am definitely signing up for updates. Well done!

[nickbaddorf]

This is amazing! you just gained a subscriber! Keep up the good work, and don't get burned out! P.S. your video style reminds me of the old Make: project videos from many years ago! I love it!

[CrazyCoupleDIY]

Pretty impressive mate.
I am going to use this in my next project

[rtlongthegeek]

Subscribed the moment you demonstrated that you have embraced systemd and didn’t complain about it :-) This is a cool project. I only recently found these modules and as soon as I heard they will do 2Mb/s I started wondering about this kind of thing. Glad someone else did it so I can benefit from that!

Also can use channel 120+. Its clean from wifi. More clean 120-125.

New subscriber. Great content I look forward to future videos

[gianlucarocca]

Woaa thanks i would love to analyze your code to understand where i can improve mine xD

[lowellm]

Cool!
Can this be used for a cheap camera live feed transmission...crude fpv system

[ashutoshsoni]

Amazing project, really enjoyed it.
Does it need such a powerful computer.

[zerobow]

nice one, how about use 3 [6] radios sync'ed for more BW

[Venaber]

hello, can be the nRF24L01 used for live video transmission with a camera?

[carlosblancoiii]

This is one great project. I was wondering how well does it work with other wifi routers working close to it.

[IrregularShed]

Subscribed and liked, straight off this video. Excellent work, sir!

I have a bunch of those for my rc drones. Could i stream video and also keep the 9 channels already on my transmitter

Hi Thanks you much for this video. Question: I recently purchased an ZLL SG908 drone. The range of the drone is very good from controller/transmitter to drone commuication. The downfall of the drone is the FPV transmission to phone app , which is simply wifi 5 ghz transmitted, , which the screen freezes at about 125 meters so after that you are just flying by line of sight. How could i send the camera video, ,(eliminate the actual 5ghz feed ).. through one of these nrf26L01 radios to a simple 6 inch lcd that i fabricate onto the existing controller/transmitter that the drone came with? The drone camera video is actually saved on an sd card on the drone itself...so the video quality sent to the ground lcd monitor doesnt have to be real great quaility . Seems it should be doable for longer FPV range of the camera. I hope i explained this clear enough . Thanks again.

Firstly Thank you for making this video, I am happy to find this video over internet. I want to establish communication between Raspberry Pi 5 and PC (desktop) over RF. In this communication, simply, I want to transfer some sensor data with live video streaming from pi to PC. please guide me for this process. I am a beginner in this field. No, much knowledge about it. My project is restricted to use RF link communication. Help me please

Ive wanted to do something like this for so long, to create a ssh and VNC link to my home computer thats not going over cell towers or other networks i have no control over. with the reasonable speed you've achieved I could do almost anything, watch a movie, video chat, send communications, send and recieve small files (i'm patient, unlike most people). I do have a challenge for you. Make a wireless connection between 2 raspberry pi's using nothing but the GPIO pins! there is already a library to transmit frequencies over pin 4 of the pi's gpio (just add a small wire for antenna) but can we do the same thing in reverse and recieve over pin 4 on a second pi? if we can do that, we just add transmit and recieve to both pis and we have a radio link. It doesn't have to be fast, even 300 baud is enough to control a computer with telnet.
