spirilis 1,265 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2PCS-New-NRF24L01-2-4GHz-Antenna-Wireless-Transceiver-Module-Arduino-/360826829171?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5402f47973 They don't have any specific markings. Tested with a custom build setup from a friend that had different modules and different pin-layout but when correctly wired it worked. Tried on arduino Uno with the RF24 and Mirf libraries. They responded with content of registers (channels, power mode etc.) Had the vcc and gnd hooked up to the pins next to the reset button on the bottom right. Later connected them to the vcc/gns on the top pins. I couldn't attach a photo. Ok, those look right and I've bought from that vendor before too (although my modules were the green kind). Definitely puzzled why this would be happening. Is there anything else connected to the LaunchPad? Did you accidentally damage the module before hooking it up (e.g. sending 5V into the Vcc rail when playing with the Arduino)? Do you have a second one you can test?

I hooked it up from a working Arduino uno setup with vcc connected to 3.3v (showing values) to the launchpad that only has 3.3V. So that would not damage it. Totally puzzled.

(it's totally basic) I will exchange all cables + nrf24l01 later today to exclude accidental bad contacts or NRF24. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rad3d 1 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Just looked... looks right to me so far. Well. Took another nrf24L01 with a different set of cables. Still no transceiver messages. Tried TXDEMO. Unfortunately it is doing the same.

Please let me know. Well, gotta dig deeper now. Where did you find the Enrf24 library--one of the d/l's in this thread or the Github version? (shouldn't matter, but, just curious) No changes were made to the demo before you ran it? What's the exact settings in your Energia window -- specifically Board type. What version of Energia are you using? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What version of Energia are you using? Running windows. I got it from github latest zip (https://github.com/spirilis/Enrf24). Didn't change anything about the rxdemo.

spirilis 1,265 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hmm, I may have made a change or 2 recently and didn't test it. Let me do that first Sent from my Galaxy Note II with Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,265 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 That's msp430g2553 or msp430g2452? The msp430g2453 isn't a supported option in Energia. Sent from my Galaxy Note II with Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my Galaxy Note II with Tapatalk 4 Yes, I'm sorry, the LaunchPad w/ msp430g2452 (16Mhz) is what I have selected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This needs to match the chip you have installed in the LaunchPad's socket. If it is the G2452, swap the MOSI/MISO pins and it should work. If it's the G2553 in there, select the correct board type.

rad3d 1 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It is a G2452. I have tried that. It didn't work. But I will try it again later today.(in about 6 hours) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rad3d 1 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It is a G2452. I have tried that. It didn't work. But I will try it again later today.(in about 6 hours) Tried it. I guess it has been a combination of things. Now it works. So it was the swap of MISO/MOSI that did it. Must have had some loose wire or something else wrong the first time I tried it. Thanks for the help ! spirilis 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RAKSH 1 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 What is the process to be followed for simultaneous RX and TX on the NRF ?THe MASTER NRF sends a string over to the slave and the slave has to perform a certain action and return the status of that process .How do I go about this ?

spirilis 1,265 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Enable RX mode. When you need to transmit, just go for it--load your data with .write() and/or .print() and use .flush() to force-send the packet. The library should detect that you were in RX mode previously and return you to RX mode when .flush() completes. Sent from my Galaxy Note II with Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
