problem with module MRF24J40MA receipt or send

[carlosfelipe29]

Hi, everybody,

I have two modules MRF24J40MA, one with arduino mini, another one with mi Rpi. I run the git codes
mrf24j40_radio.py or mrf24j40_registers.py, but I don't receive any signal on my arduino console.

I have checked the SPI protocols and it is fine.
Is there any function to send a package from SPI-py with MRF24J40MA to another module?.

I appreciate your help on it.

I am new on this, I would like if someone could explain me what mrf24j40_radio.py code does?

Thanks a lot

On the fucntion:
def check_int_reg(self):
int_reg = self.spi.read("INTSTAT")
return int_reg

within the main always appers on Zero (0) the result of radio.check_int_reg()

Hi!

The scripts in this repo are not meant as full abstraction of the hardware.. They are meant as library abstractions of the Spi and register access..
You will still need to dig into the functionality of the Mrf24j40 consulting the data sheet.
Simply calling the scripts should not result in any meaningful output.
But you can start with using the radio component (which is the most abstract one) and go from there.
The init procedures that it calls should put the modules in a valid state from where it is relatively simple to proceed.

Check the section non-beacon mode in the datasheet and follow the instructions there.

If you achieve your goals, please feel free to back-contribute a full example here for example..
