Init fail

[pettib]

Hi
I have been playing with mysensors for a while but now when trying to start it up again after a couple of month of paus.
I´m getting this error: 0;0;3;0;9;radio init fail when I´m using the following.
Arduino Nano
NRF24L01+
Arduino 1.6.8
Mysensors 1.5
SerialGateway sketch

I have tried to using another NRF chip but same result.
I have been using the same hardware before to build a gateway

@pettib Did you check the wires and added a 4.7uF capacitor? Init fail is saying as much as, I can't communicate with the radio. Which is either in the wiring or in the power.

Good luck!

Yes, The wires is correct and i have the 4.7uF capacitor connected.
I have homemade card with everything on it.
It the same i used before.
The only thing that have been changed is the version of Arduino IDE and Mysensors 1.5.

Pretty much as @TheoL said:

Radio init fail means:

1. Not wired correctly
2. Not powered correctly
3. Not a nrf24 with +

Some reading regarding + and not + Nrf modules.

I would trippelcheck my wiring, redo the wiring and try another power source.

Also check ce and csn pin configuration correspondence to your wiring.
