    Hi,
    Sorry for my English.
    I try to run the wifi gateway with a NodeMCU ESP12-E and a NRF24L01 (not 24L01+).
    Arduino ide is 1.6.7.
    Library sensors is Arduino-development. I tried before with the master library.
    radio power is independent of nodemcu.
    The wires are checked and connected as on documentation.
    First : in the sketch esp8266, i declare ssid, password, static ip address, everything works well.
    Second : I enable #define MY_RADIO_NRF24 and #define MY_RF24_DATARATE RF24_1MBPS. Then I get DHCP address (not static like above) and debug give :

    tail 0
    chksum 0x42
    csum 0x42
    0;0;3;0;9;Starting gateway (RNNGE-, 1.6.0-beta)
    write_register(0x04,0x5F)
    write_register(0x06,0x27)
    write_register(0x06,0x07)
    write_register(0x00,0x0E)
    write_register(0x07,0scandone
    x70)
    write_register(0x05,0x4C)
    write_register(0x00,0x0E)
    STATUS		0x0E RX_DR=0 TX_DS=0 MAX_RT=0 RX_P_NO=7 TX_FULL=0
    RX_ADDR_P0-1	0x0E0E0E0E0E 0303030303 
    RX_ADDR_P2-5	0xC3 C4 C5 C6 
    TX_ADDR		0x0E0E0E0E0E 
    RX_PW_P0-6	0x00 00 00 00 00 00 
    EN_AA		0x3Fstate: 0 -> 2 (b0)
    tate: 2 -> 0 (0)
    f 0, scandone
    state: 0 -> 2 (b0)
    state: 2 -> 3 (0)
    state: 3 -> 5 (10)
    add 0
    aid 1
    cnt 
    

    Have you an idea of the problem?
    Thanks for your help.

      radio power is independent of nodemcu and grounds are interconnected.
      The wires are checked and connected as on documentation.
      I also changed several radio components.
      First : in the sketch esp8266, i declare ssid, password, static ip address, everything works well. I can successfully ping the ip address.
      Second : Now, I enable #define MY_RADIO_NRF24 and #define MY_RF24_DATARATE RF24_1MBPS in addition to the sketch. Then I get DHCP address - and not static like above - and debug give :
      Radio init failed - Check wiring.
      The radio connection is not working and disrupts the wifi connection.

      Have you an idea of the problem ?

      Thanks for your help.

          Thank you for your answer. I read a post indicating to change the speed of 1MB for L01 .
          I'll order L01 + .
          Congratulations on your achievement .
