I am using a NRF24L01 for a wifi project and I wanted near the 8mbps SPI data speed that the NRF24L01 supports. I am nearing the connecting the wifi module and testing my code, but I doubt a breadboards ability to support those signal speeds and was wondering if anybody knows if a random breadboard can handle those speeds or if it is possible to plug in the NRF24L01 module directly into a Br pin bank without destroying the Au V1 that I am using here.
The nrf24l01 is a 3.3 V part, so you should be able to connect it directly to the Br element.
The AU V1 easily handles 12 MHz SPI using a breadboard with jumper wires between modules.
With some care you can even get 25 MHz SPI.

Thanks, I was more worried about the current that the module would draw from the AU.
It looks like it is an extremely low power module so the power consumption isn’t an issue. And as already mentioned, you’ll easily be able to do
8MHz. And I see the module is 3.3V, so no problem there either. This should be a pretty straightforward project.
The 3.3V rail on the Au has quite a bit of headroom (3.5A total capacity). You should be able to use at least 1A easy and the NRF chip says 13mA. No worries.
