Hey guys,

I am in the process of building a project using the NRFL2401, however I seem to be coming across a very odd issue.

If i attach to the serial monitor and view the output of the device, I only ever get readable responses, if I physically hold the wire for either the + or the -.

I suspect its a grounding issue, but its driving me crazy!

Any ideas?

hey there,

I am just using the getting started sketch, with a custom built arduino. All the other device attached to it work with my own sketch, but the getting started sketch is the one I am having issues with.

As soon as I touch either the positive or the negetive wire, it starts showing valid text...

you haven't shared sketch . which is having problem.
check it might loose connection. else solder it directly
