Please has anyone got an easy or simple way to test if the NRF24L01 s are working i.e. simple code including the required IDE version & NRF24 library versions. I have tried many of the code examples given on the IDE library page and also those listed by other users but I can get nothing to work, …

[image] Whandall: @Robin2 's sketches works on legit NRF24L01+ chips, if the connections and power supply are correct. +1 They sure do.

[image] srnet: Do not assume that the reason why modules are not working for you is that the libraries or IDE somehow have errors in them. Or the tutorials (at least in the case of Robin2's tutorial).

Have you tried Dave Parsons NRFLite library? It is easier to set up and has some simple examples to test Tx and Rx. Your channel selection could be causing issues, you can use the NRFLite library to scan channels. There are a number of things that can cause these modules not to work, you really have…

Thanks for your reply srnet. I did not mean to infer that the libraries or IDE had errors, but I have read some posts which said that they found certain NRF library versions did not work with particular IDE versions.

[image] confused22: but I have read some posts which said that they found certain NRF library versions did not work with particular IDE versions. This can be confusing. Robin2's tutorial states this: [image] Simple nRF24L01+ 2.4GHz transceiver demo EDIT 03 Feb 2021 - For this Tutorial ins…

[image] Simple nRF24L01+ 2.4GHz transceiver demo EDIT 03 Feb 2021 - For this Tutorial install Version 1.1.7 of the RF24 library (available with the Arduino Library Manager). More information in Reply #30. Can anyone tell me how I find Reply#30 please.

[image] confused22: Can anyone tell me how I find Reply#30 please Well, your post was number #11 in this thread: [image] Incidentally, the post you want is #31 due to a renumbering of the posts from the old forum. There the first post was #0. Here it is #1.

Got it thanks. I see how it works now.

Hi middles. Thanks for your reply. I am currently using IDE ver 1.8.15. Should the latest version of the NRFLite library work with this do you know?

I am using 1.8.13 and it's fine, should be okay with 1.8.15. What platform are you using, all the problems I had were mostly compatibility issues, NRF24 modules can be frustrating to get working. I have been around the loops several times so I know what works and what doesn't. If you are still havin…
