Arduino nRF2401+ Simple 1 way transmission not working

858 views Asked by At

I am using 2 Arduino nanos and 2 NRF24L01+PA+LNA modules. I have mostly been following this tutorial, and I have verified everything is connected to the correct pins. I have also tried directly powering the nRF2401 modules with 2 AA batteries, as I heard the onboard 3.3v isn't always enough.

Transmitter:

#include <SPI.h>
#include <RF24.h>
#include "printf.h"

RF24 radio(7, 8); // CE, CSN
const uint64_t pAddress = 0xB00B1E5000LL;
#define DHT11_PIN 2

void setup(){
  Serial.begin(9600);
  printf_begin();
  if (!radio.begin()) {
    Serial.println(F("radio hardware is not responding!!"));
    while (1) {} // hold in infinite loop
  }
  radio.setPALevel(RF24_PA_LOW);
  radio.setChannel(25);
  radio.openWritingPipe(pAddress);
  radio.stopListening();
  radio.printDetails();
  radio.printPrettyDetails();
  Serial.print("channel = ");
  Serial.println(radio.getChannel());
}

void loop(){
  const char text[] = "Hello World";
  bool status = radio.write(&text, sizeof(text));
  Serial.print("Transmission Status: ");
  Serial.println(status);

  delay(1000);
 
}
