ANT Forum

Hi there, been scouring around and haven't found any doc on how to actually use the reset pin on the ANTAP218M4IB. I'm thinking to wire it to a digital output pin (Arduino Uno) and pull that pin high for a short burst? Is that correct? If so, how short - at present I'm thinking 50 microseconds? Does it need to be longer? Current wiring is below (asynch). Also unsure about RTS - going by what I've seen others do...:

PIN NAME TO
1 GND GND
2 RESET d7 (output)
3 Vcc 3.3v
4 GND GND
5 NC x
6 SSPND 3.3v
7 SLEEP GND
8 NC x
9 PORTS GND
10 BR2 3.3v
11 TXD0 D10 (input) - softwareserial
12 RXD0 D11 (output) - softwareserial
13 BR1 GND
14 BR3 GND
15 RSVD1 GND
16 RSVD2 GND
17 RTS D3 (INPUT_PULLUP)      

Hi,

You can find the assertion time for the nRF24AP2 in the Product Specification:

The RESET pin provides an optional reset when the nRF24AP2 is placed in a system that has a master
reset source. This pin is not needed for normal application. Pull RESET pin low for minimum 0.2 μs and
return to high, this will reset the nRF24AP2 to the default state. Leave unconnected if not used in the
application.

Cheers
