Trouble sending a struct data type using the NRF24L01+

@Robin2 yes I saw how you did it with letters. I tried to change your simple tx code so it can send a struct data type and got this. It works and sends but the receiver only gets "0.0"

Here is the code I altered.

#include <SPI.h>
#include <nRF24L01.h>
#include <RF24.h>


#define CE_PIN   9
#define CSN_PIN 10

const byte slaveAddress[5] = {'R','x','A','A','A'}; // address for master to slave communication


RF24 radio(CE_PIN, CSN_PIN); // Create a Radio

typedef struct {
 char dataToSend[10] = "Hello"; 
 int A = 47;
} data;

data payload;


unsigned long currentMillis; //Millis = Time that has passed since running code
unsigned long prevMillis;
unsigned long txIntervalMillis = 1000; // send once per second


void setup() {

    Serial.begin(9600); //Ensure the baurd rate is the same in the reciever

    Serial.println("SimpleTx Starting");

    radio.begin(); //opening channel 
    radio.setDataRate( RF24_250KBPS ); //setting bandwidth to 250kBps
    radio.setRetries(3,5); // delay, count
    radio.openWritingPipe(slaveAddress); //setting the address for this pipe
}

//====================

void loop() {
    currentMillis = millis();
    if (currentMillis - prevMillis >= txIntervalMillis) {
        send();
        prevMillis = millis();
    }
}

//====================

void send() {

    bool rslt;
    rslt = radio.write(&payload, sizeof(payload));
        // Always use sizeof() as it gives the size as the number of bytes.
        // For example if dataToSend was an int sizeof() would correctly return 2

    Serial.print("Data Sent ");
    if (rslt) {
        Serial.println("  Acknowledge received");   
    }
    else {
        Serial.println("  Tx failed");
    }
}
