RF24L01 Network nodes

Hi,

I am currently using the RF24 and RF24Network libraries by TMRh20. And RF24L01 radios connected to UNOs, well Infiduino's, they can run at 3.3V.
I have had a 2 node system working since last November. Now this has been logging to a MySQL database since then with no issues.
I would like to add a second transmitter or 3rd node.
The problem is I do not want to take my network off line while I debug my code.
Here is my question:
I used the RF24Network example Helloworld_rx as the receiver and Helloworld_TX as the transmitter.
Modified it to suite my needs. now I want to ad a second transmitter.
My question is:

For the 2 transmitter I have this setup:

const uint16_t this_node = 01;        // Address of our node in Octal format
const uint16_t other_node = 00;       // Address of the other node in Octal format

for transmitter one and

const uint16_t this_node = 02;        // Address of our node in Octal format
const uint16_t other_node = 00;       // Address of the other node in Octal format

for transmitter two.

now for the receiving node 0 this what I had

const uint16_t this_node = 00;    // Address of our node in Octal format ( 04,031, etc)
const uint16_t other_node = 01;   // Address of the other node in Octal format

To add node two what do I change the other_node to?
Or how do I change this so it listens to both nodes or transmitters.

Hi,

OK! after surfing the web and reading the TMRh20 manual again I did not find a solution to this problem, but a simple search for "other_node" in my receiver code reviled that is was never used, so problem solved, you only need to supply the node you want to transmit to and this one is not transmitting.
