I am trying to get a pair of NRF24 to send and receive data. I am using Robin2 examples with no modifications as well as a 10uF capacitor as recommended which I do not think I need since they are on breakouts but its there anyways. I have also tried with no capacitor added.
The NRF24 module has been powered from the Arduino nano's 5v pin as well as externally powered with a buck converter at anywhere between 4v-5v with no differences. I have also tried 2 double A batteries to no avail. The antennas are currently about 15 feet apart and I have tested 3 modules and non seem to work as a transmitter. All 3 have checked ok with Robin's module checker as well.
I have attached the nrf24 module check outputs as well as a photo of the wiring for 1 nrf module as they are both wired the same currently. Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide.
The connection test results seem to indicate that the modules are wired up correctly. The modules require 3.3v power so there's a chance that they may have been damaged when you applied 4-5v to them.
Whilst Robin's tutorials are an excellent starting point to the world of nRF24L01 modules, they are based around the basic module without the LNA & PA RF sections. As you are using the higher power versions, then, whilst testing on the bench, I would suggest that you reduce the RF power of the modules.
