Hello, Im having a problem with the nrf24l01. I got no issues with a communication between 2 decides, one way or two ways but now I need to communicate between at least 5 (one being the master).
Cant really find any guide or tutorial on how to do it, my project just needs for the master to send a variable to a slave, wait for a response then send to another and so on.
Just some "small light" on where to start would be nice.
Sorry for my English and thanks in advance.
If I can speak to one person and get an answer,
I have no problem speaking to many, one after another.
Simplest approach would be two sends back to back with ackPayload,
for all targets that have to be fed/read.
I personally don't like master slave approaches,
I keep all modules listening when they are not sending,
and never wait on anything, there are timeouts however, when needed.
With ackPayload its possible for the master to send a message to another node after you get an answer from the previous one?
Would be like
send message node 1
Wait answer node 1
Receive message node 1
Send message node 2
Wait answer node 2
Receive message node 2
Its for a system similar to blazepods (reaction lights), where a light turns on I pass my hand on a sensor and it goes on
You should read This Tutorial.
ackPayload transfers data back to the sender in a single operation.
Switching from send to receive and back happens automatically.
The data has to be preloaded (reside in the chip before a packet arrives).
If you need an answer, you have to send one more packet to get current data.
Like I said, two packets back to back get a request/response behavior.
For simple commands, like "flash a led", the ack without data would be enough for me.
I get annoyed by all the waits in your description, I will not help you go that route.
Good luck with your project.
Im following that guide, thanks
Yes, I went to read more about the ackpayload and that wont work out for me 
What waits?
Thanks for the help, anyway

Thats not how you say it?
