Unable to send integer over nRF24L01

rudi1441:
I finally got it working! ;D I removed both antennas and now the receiver is receiving the data correctly.

Do you mean that you are using the high-power nRF24s with the external antenna and you did not tell us?

It may damage the amplifier to operate them without the antenna.

With the antennas it seems to be important to have the nRF24s separated by a good distance because the signal is so strong. I suggest a minimum of 3 metres. Think of it like a person with a loud voice shouting at you with his mouth close to your ear.

In his defense, he did, I think?
From OP.

The transceivers are the larger versions with antennas.

You are quite correct. I completely missed that. Humble apologies to the OP

No problem :slight_smile:
I have an update: I set both radios' output levels to minimum, now they can be right next to each other and communicate properly back and forth. I have found how to send a single integer and then write that to a servo as well. Still need to find a way to send multiple integers though... Will continue after work this week.

Thank you all for the help, I'll try to keep you posted even if only for someone else with some of the same questions.

In reply #19 I posted code examples that show how to send and receive packets that contain multiple data of different data types (or the same data types).
