Hi Guys

I have a few of these units lying at home and cant get them to work , I found this site lastweek and have been trying to get the” getting started” example working but with no luck, checked all the wires 4 times made all the libraries local in the Pde to try cancel out file path issues , but still nothing when i start the serial monitor next to all the Config print lines I get 0xff so it seesm like the radio doesnt int. properly . any ideas?

Sorry, no.  If the wires are hooked up correctly, and the modules are functioning correctly, this will always work.

Why would you define them as 9,10 then in the software

Please safe our environment and do not print this email.

Because the Getting Started blog posts instructs to hook up lines 9 & 10 to CE & CSN.

Hi maniacbug

I keep getting a EEPROM_update not declared when I try compile sensor net . Any idea?

Thanx for any help

First and for most. Thank you for all your work on this. I have configured two boards just like your site says on http://maniacbug.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/getting-started-rf24/ . Get them both started and both on the monitor so I can see the status. At this point I press "t" on my Monitor of Com4. It reports that it is Failing. I toggle com 4 back by pressing "r". I press "t" on my Monitor of Com3 and I start to get a good result. Now if I toggle com3 back with a "r" and toggle Com4 to "t"...it works good now.

- added delays to stop/start listening on RPi
- removed buffer flushes on start/stop listening for RPi
- added modified transfernbd function to BCM library - one has no
delays, also removed one delay period from both by waiting for RX data
- modified transfernb function to stop sending if RX fifo is full
- added delay to stoplistening for arduino etc. (actually seems to
improve performance)
- tests on-par with Arduino performance
stanleyseow referenced this issue in stanleyseow/RF24 Aug 3, 2014
- moved radio.flush_tx(); to public
- adjusted call_response example to use tx_flush();
- adjusted write_payload, read_payload
stanleyseow referenced this issue in stanleyseow/RF24 Aug 3, 2014
- Adjusted spi writes (delay vs no delay)
- Re-enabled buffer flushes on start/stop listening
- Adjusted delay for transfernb()
- Testing indicates that with gettingstarted_call_response example, ack
responses may not be written soon enough if CPU load is high on RPi. eg:
testing indicates this is a limitation of the hardware, not the driver.
stanleyseow referenced this issue in stanleyseow/RF24 Aug 3, 2014
- Modified spi transfernb hopefully for the last time, re gnulnulf#9
- Updated RPi examples to minimize CPU usage
- Updated transfer example for Arduino and RPi to exit TX mode after 4ms
per manufacturer. Improves multicast streaming.
- Bit of a cleanup on RPi examples
stanleyseow referenced this issue in stanleyseow/RF24 Aug 3, 2014
- Discovered a bug affecting Arduino Due using extended SPI methods, it
seems an extra delay is required before switching to TX mode
- Found the same bug affected the RPi, and removed all delays from
bcm2835 driver, since this bug caused the strange behaviour on RPi
