Mysensors 1.5 and NRF24L01 without +

[Floca]

OS: Windows 7 64bit
Arduino IDE: 1.6.7
MySensors: 1.5 (transfer set to 1MBPS)
Arduino: Nano CH340
Radio: NRF24L01 (without +)
Ethernet IF: W5100 (red) (softspi set in myconfig)

Hi,
i have Problems with my nrf24l01 without the plus, because i can't get it to work and new Radio's with plus are ordered but take about 3 weeks until they arrive.

I have seen some ideas here in the Forum to set the Datarate to 1MBPS but i get "radio init fail" error.
I tried an extarnal power supply but there is no change.

Is there Someone who can help me with my bad nrf24l01 without +?

Regards

Setting speed to 1Mbps and removing the "sanity check" here should work:

Hi Hek,
that is a great solution, thanks, the gateway is starting without problems (Serial Monitor).

I have the problem, that the W5100 is not working correctly. I have two of them with the 5v input. The Modules in the mysensors Shop are the same as mine (red PCB).

They are blinking on tx and link, but i cant get them working with my FritzBox Router. I have added the IP from the Script (192.168.178.65) and the MAC byte TCP_MAC[] = { 0x00, 0x24, 0x8D, 0x3E, 0x29, 0x1C }; 00:24:8D:3E:29:1C but it isn't working :(

Any Solutions?

regards

how did you choose that mac address? It is for a Sony product. The mac address needs t be unique in your local network. The ip address also needs to be unique and it needs to be in the same range as your local network.

Yes its for an Sony Product, because i tested around a bit. The IP is unique and the mac was also tested with DE:AD:BE:EF:FE:ED with no results :(
