First Gateway setup failing TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL

Controller : Home Assistant
Raspberry Pi running Hassio (latest version)
Arduino Nano Clone Link
NRF24L01 Radio Link
Sketch for Arduino using GatewaySerial Link to sketch

I have been battling this on an off for about 3 weeks now I am pretty sure the below means it cannot connect to the radio as the device initialization fails but I have tried multiple Arduino's and Radios and Cables.

Any ideas was just trying to keep this as simple as possible initially to learn and debug things but I am now at a loss as to what to try next.

@solarisjon yes, you are interpreting the log message correctly.

I checked the photos and the wiring looks good.

I'll try to think what else could be wrong, but at the moment I don't have any ideas unfortunately.

Ok a day after posting this I just dismantled everything used a new batch of Arduino Nano's and NRF24L01 with a breakout connector Link to Amazon and everything just came up without an issue.

Lesson learnt even if you try different components don't rule out double and triple hardware failure points.

Once I had a circuit working I went through every Arduino Nano and NRF24L01 I own, I ended up with 2 Nano's that refused to work and a handful of the NRF24L01 as well. Anyway things are now working with the serial gateway (next step is to try an MQTT one again which is where I started this whole project from) and get an irrigation controller running.
