I am working on a weather station project with the intention of using two nRF24 modules to connect an Arduino Uno to a Uno WIFI Rev2 which then uploads the data to weather underground once its inside. The only part of this project that I can not get working is the transceivers. I've bought two pairs…

[image] joelcarterramadge: What should I do to make these work? My standard advice: Keep asking the robot until he/she/it gives you the correct result you expect. One answer could probably be 42.

Be aware that on an Arduino WiFi Rev2, the SPI pins are not available on pins 11/12/13 but on the six pin header. I can't say why it would not work on a normal Uno.

What you are seeing is not that uncommon. Use a seperate 3V3 power supply that is well bypassed. Powering it from the Arduino is sometimes maybe proposition. It generates current spikes that require more current then the arduino is capable of supplying. Sometimes caps will help then later they may…

Thank you for this, I now recall reading this at some point

Are the nRF24L01's plugged into little adapter boards? Do they have an AMS1117 5v to 3v3 regulator on them? If so, you need to apply 5v, not 3v3.

Make sure your ce and csn pins are the right way around (some modules label them CE = CNS and CSN = CE or something like that from memory) try and switch them You can try set the palevels on both too low Try and half the spi rate in RF24_config.h file. Look for the line #define RF24_SPI_SPEED 1000…

Thank you all, the solution has turned out to be using the Arduino 5V output into the regulator board. Although I still need to work out making it work with the Uno WIFI, does anyone know if it as simple as connecting to the ICSP pins as outlined on the Arduino Pinout diagram? (so in this case MISO …

It should be but I don't have an Arduino WiFi Rev2 to play with.

Robin2's simple rf24 tutorial helped me a lot.
