Hello guys,
I have been trying to make it work for days, but I cant. It looks like the arduino is connecting well with the modules, but are cant figure out why they are not communicating each other.
Each one is connected in port, here are the radio.print():
Please download it, url not working.
Are the adress wrong?
Here the code I am using:

/**
* Example for Getting Started with nRF24L01+ radios.
*
* This is an example of how to use the RF24 class. Write this sketch to two
* different nodes. Put one of the nodes into 'transmit' mode by connecting
* with the serial monitor and sending a 'T'. The ping node sends the current
* time to the pong node, which responds by sending the value back. The ping
* node can then see how long the whole cycle took.
