I am sure i got the wiring correct for nrf 24l01 and the installed the tmrh20/nrf24 library correctly. But i couldnt communicate with them. Transmitter and Receiver code is attached along with the printDetails from the transmitter Serial Monitor. I dont know the cause for this???

I had hoped your image would have been a wiring schematic.
Have a look at this Simple nRF24L01+ Tutorial but NOTE that on a Mega the pins MOSI MISO and SCK are in a different place.

PS. for the future please don't post pictures of text. Just copy and past the text and place it inside code tags with code button <>
The output shows that the NRF24L01+ SPI communication is not working.
Bad wiring, wiring / software mismatch, ...
MISO 50
MOSI 51
SCK 52
CE 7
CS 8
this is the pin confguration i used
Receiver

I get this on my receiver serial moniter . But when i remove any cable from wiring it suddenlt print some dump values.What s wrong ???? I did the wiring perfectly fine.
This is the serial moniter output in transmitter

Don't double post. I have suggested to the Moderator to merge this with your other Thread on the same project

Have you set pin 53 as OUTPUT? (Necessary to make the Arduino act as SPI master)
...R
I tried that too . I tried again with the gettingStarted example in the library example but no progress same results again and again

Have you tried the examples in my tutorial. They do work and if you have problems it makes it easier for me to help.
If you try them and they don't work for you then please post the programs that you have uploaded to your Megas.

I found the solution. I used the adapters for the nrf24l01 and i powered them with 3.3 V. Then i powered it with 5V and tested with getting started example and it just worked fine (I think there is something wrong with the code i have uploaded because i tested it with 5V supply previously). By the way thanks for your advices. They were very helpful to a beginner like me
Thanks for the update. Glad you have solution.

What's the manufacturer's specifications for nrf24L01+ voltage supply range?
