So I have a few of these rf24 modules (2 different brands) and have been successful in the past getting it to work. I am struggling now though getting it to work with the nano. I am using the Acknowledgement Payload example sketch in the rf24 library.
When I first plugged in one of the modules I wasnt able to get it to TX or RX according to the serial monitor (radio hardware not found! msg). I unplugged that particular rf24 module and plugged in a different one which started to smoke (I think from the ground pin). Oddly enough, I now had a msg on the serial monitor asking which node it was- so I entered 0 and TX. I now unplug the smoking module and plug in the original one-- and it is now Transmitting according to the serial monitor (the other node/nano/rf24 module that is supposed to be RX the msg never has acknowledged).
I have replicated this multiple times now where the only way I can get the non smoking rf24 module to work is to plug the smoking one in first and get the serial monitor to ask for which node it is- after that and plugging in the non smoker, it seems to work as it should.
What is going on here?
