They get external power from a modulated dc power at 3.3V and are grounded.Īnd for the second module, the Serial Monitor displays: STATUS = 0x0e RX_DR=0 TX_DS=0 MAX_RT=0 RX_P_NO=7 TX_FULL=0 Notice that the modules are completely the same, bought, and put on Arduino at the same time. *** PRESS 'T' to begin transmitting to the other node The other at its Serial Monitor, prints these : RF24/examples/GettingStarted/ RX_PW_P0-6 = 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff STATUS = 0xff RX_DR=1 TX_DS=1 MAX_RT=1 RX_P_NO=7 TX_FULL=1

Now that I will upload it as a code hope that we will come to an answer. If you treat the text as code and use the code button it makes things nice and tidy. It does not matter what pins you use for CE and CSN but you should ensure that pin 10 (on the Uno) and pin 53 (on the Mega) are set as OUTPUT to ensure that the Arduino acts as SPI master. The code will work with a Mega if you connect the nRF24 like this (as in the SPI library reference) ARDUINO MEGA: At least for testing try powering the nRF24 with a pair of AA alkaline cells (3v) with the battery GND connected to the Arduino GND. The high-power nRF24s (with the external antenna) will definitely need an external power supply. This seems to be a particular problem with the nano. There is also a connection test program to check that the Arduino can talk to the nRF24 it is connected to.Ī common problem with nRF24 modules is insufficient 3.3v current from the Arduino 3.3v pin. Start by getting the first example to work

If you get stuck it will be easier to help with code that I am familiar with. The examples are as simple as I could make them and they have worked for other Forum members. Wireless problems can be very difficult to debug so get the wireless part working on its own before you start adding any other features. This Simple nRF24L01+ Tutorial should help. What is correct? Is someone from you that have dealt with connection issues like me? The CE and CSN are based on the library that i'm using? I have found at the Arduino Reference that the connections at the above Arduinos are the below: Searching on the internet again, looking at what the problem may be, I started asking myself if the SPI connections are correct. VCC -> VCC 3.3V OR EXTERNAL OUTPUT AT THE SAME VOLTAGE.Īfter downloading the RF24-master.zip and connecting the modules as said above, nothing happened. Firstly, wherever on the internet that you may look, you may find the following connections for modules to the Arduinos. Some problems have occurred, but the problem will be said in a while. The first module is connected to a Mega2560 and the second is connected to Uno. For that reason, this might be one of those occasions where build is rather than buy.I'm trying to make 2 nRF24L01 communicate with each other. Nearly all, and maybe all, of the off-the-shelf IAQ montoring stuff that you might buy for, say, $300 or less seems to require periodic calibration. Ideally, I'd like to find a sensitive VOC sensor that also will never require calibration.

As a for instance, here is one such CO2 sensor: At around $50 for just the sensor element itself, it's not exactly cheap, but then again, I'd say it's worth it, because who wants to be burdened by remembering to calibrate their CO2 sensors? The better CO2 sensors are factory calibrated and never again need recalibration for the life of the sensor (usually around 10 years or so), because they are used in HVAC systems to control fresh air intake to guarantee indoor air quality. I haven't yet made any progress on finding a good VOC sensor, but along the way I did find out something interesting regarding CO2: namely, if you sleep with your bedroom door closed at night, then the odds are good that the CO2 levels rise to surprisingly high and unhealthy levels.
