For NRF24 (2.4 GHz):
 
1. Toggle the physical switch to 2.4GHz. You can then use the NRF24 function. 
   When Mode choose, select SPI Mode


⚠️ Note on Auto-Reboot

Due to the Cardputer's shared SPI bus design, heavy data traffic during 'Record Raw' may cause congestion and reboots. 

This is a widely reported issue in the community. Operating without an SD card Helps. 

This is a hardware limitation of the device, not a module defect.
