    Hi guys , I'm really newby for my sensors community. I'm trying to do a little network with one distance sensor and a serial gateway,follow my configuration:
    Distance node: Arduino Pro Mini Clone + NRF24L01+(There's write on the chip) + HC-SR04.
    Serial gateway: Arduino Uno + NRF24L01+.

    So with a simple sketch implemented with only RF24 library I managed to establish a communication between the node and gateway.
    But using the mysensors library v1.5 I read "radio init fail"
    Following this thread
    http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1728/uno-ethernet-shield-radio-init-fail-solved/22
    I seems on the serial monitor that the gateway is OK (Gateway StartupComplete) also the distance node but I can't read anything on the gateway.

      Are you getting the same error on both gateway and sensor node?

      Edit. ok.. didn't read the last sentence...

      You should probably start checking the wiring on the radio.

        Ok.
        I try to explain all steps done.

        On the serial Gateway:
        Arduino UNO, NRF24L01+, 3,3 V supplied by Arduino UNO board

        1. Need set DATA_RATE on 1MPS (without I have "radio init fail") in Myconfig.h
          2)Uncomment #define SOFTSPI in Myconfig.h

        Result:

        0;0;3;0;9;gateway started, id=0, parent=0, distance=0
        0;0;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.
        

        On the Distance Sensor :
        Configuration: Arduino Pro Mini Clone, NRF24L01+, 3,3 V supplied by Arduino UNO board

        1. Need set DATA_RATE on 1MPS (without I have "radio init fail") in Myconfig.h
          2)Comment #define SOFTSPI in Myconfig.h
        2. Comment isPVariant() check in MyTransportNRF24() (without I have "radio init fail")

        Result on the node:

        find parent
        send: 201-201-255-255 s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,st=bc:
        Ping: 3 cm
        

        I'm using the same transceiver for both boards.

        This is the transceiver :
