    Yes, checked with 5 Arduinos (all different vendor's) and 8 radios. Same Problem. I am totally confused.

    Have you tried all new wiring?

      If you show a few pictures also (closeups!) it might help.

        If I disconnect orange wire (red marker on first sensor picture), sensor works fine.

          I think I would connected the radio directly to the breadboard pins next to the Arduino with new wiring.

            @aquapro sagte:> Hi,

            I have tested 1000 times, wasted complete weekend. Rechecked with built up the wiring from scratch. Same Problem.
            Suppose I have swap the cables, which I doubt, why it works when I disconnect it completely?

            I have all the cables replaced, also new from different suppliers. I used the next pins on the Arduino. For the pictures I have to build something stretched to better overview.

              So the pictures don't reflect the current wiring?

                  @aquapro The MySensors site (http://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio) gives the following wiring:

                  Arduino     nRF24
                  9           CE
                  10          CSN
                  13          SCK
                  11          MOSI
                  12          MISO
                  2           IRQ
                  

                  These are the defaults for the library. CE & CSN you can adapt through the constructor of MySensor (did you do that?)

                  Looking at the pictures I have a hard time figuring out the connections for pins 8..12, while these are just the interesting part...

                    hello,
                    very good project!
                    I currently testing version 1.4b1 and I have a problem. Only if I disconnect the CE line on the sensor, the values ​​are transferred.
                    If the CE line is connected, only one part will be sent, see Figure 1, the LED on the sensor remains on. As soon as I disconnect CE line, all values ​​are not sent are transmitted (Figure 2) and the LED goes out and lights up briefly in the next transmission.

                    Does anyone have an idea?

                    greeting

                              It looked like you could have a connection to pin 8, but apparently (in the better pictures) you haven't...

                                @aquapro I dont think you got a nordic semiconductor nrf24l01, What I can find they are only in QFN package.
                                http://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/2.4GHz-RF/nRF24L01

                                So the specs on that chip may be different. Maybe CE is inverted?

                                  hm ... if CE inverted, ping sample should not work?! CE must switch between hight and low for TX and RX right? But Ping sample send and receive works.

                                    Hi,

                                    I have bought the new modules (right on pic), which operate without modification. I simply swapped and all is fine.
                                    What do I do with the other. How can I test inverted.

                                      I hope you didn't get the left one when purchasing through the links in the MySensors "store"?

                                          The left one works with MySensor-Coding, but only with disconnected CE line.
