Hello, all,
I am a beginner in this field, I learned to use rf24network. I want to build a sensor in the room that will be sent to the master node using the rf24network library. I use arduino nano and the example program at https://tmrh20.github.io/RF24Network/examples.html. but I get constraint, how to make the master node can receive and send the reply packet for its child node, whereas I can only send sensor data from child node to the master node.
is there any input for me, i want the child node to send sensor data to master node and master node reply message received from child node. I do not have a schematic view of the program that I will make. because i am a beginner in this field. please input somewhat i can have a view to solve my problem this.
thank you
You have not said if you have been able to achieve any wireless communication between two Arduinos. If not have a look at this Simple nRF24L01+ Tutorial
Do you really need to use the network feature? Please describe the project you want implement - there may be an easier way.

Hello Robin
for communication 2 arduino has succeeded. the child node successfully sends its sensor data to the master node. but my obstacles. how the master node reply to messages from the child node. so the scenario I want, when the child node sends a message to the master node, the master node directly reply that the message has been received by the master node. where the message is sent to the child node. I am confused to rf24network how do one node can function to receive and send messages. in the example rf24network library there is only one-way communication where the transmitter sends the packet to the receiver. can you help me with the problems I am facing so I can find a way out.
thank you
Your writing is very hard to understand because you have a whole lot of thoughts jumbled together. And some of the seem incomplete. See how much easier it is to make sense of it when I break up your Reply #2 into paragraphs

how the master node reply to messages from the child node.

where the message is sent to the child node.

I think when you read it the way I have presented it you will see that some parts are hard to understand.
I am not familiar with the network library - I have never needed to use it. However I am 99% certain that every message that is transmitted is automatically acknowledged without you needing to do anything.

I try to send sensor data from node 01 to node 00. but node 00 can not display data received. while from the child node, the data successfully sent.
I use arduino nano. and file RF24Network_config.h #define SERIAL_DEBUG_ROUTING I have un comment. is there something wrong with my code? please help me, i am confused my error where. because the try error does not show up
my code

my project. I want to send the temperature sensor data and humidity of the room to the master node -> master node receive and store sensor data. then the master node sends a command to the slave node to turn on the light -> slave node receives commands from the master node and turns on the light.

You still have not answered my question which you quoted in your Reply #5
The piece of text that I have quoted in this Reply suggests that you just need simple communication between a master and a slave. That can be done without using the RF24 Network library. There is an example of doing it in the Tutorial I linked to in reply #1
