Is there a way to check if nRF24L01 module is working?

This transceiver module is supposed to work on 3.3v but I unknowingly connected it to 5v.

It worked when I first started using it. I wouldn't keep it continuously powered on. But it doesn't seem to work now. Even when I connect it to 3.3v.

I am using Nano as transmitter and UNO as reciever.

Following THIS guide

Connections: HERE

Library I used: GitHub - nRF24/RF24: OSI Layer 2 driver for nRF24L01 on Arduino & Raspberry Pi/Linux Devices

Code is attached.

Nothing appears on the serial monitor of receiver.

Is the problem with the code or connection or did I burn my module and should get a new one?

wireless_Tx.ino (428 Bytes)

wireless_Rx.ino (438 Bytes)

Get a new one.

They are cheap and you will have a known good module to test with

Have a look at this Simple nRF24L01+ Tutorial.

It includes an example to test communication between the Arduino and its nRF24.

As @UKHeliBob has said you really need some spare nRF24s.
