Arduino Mega + RelayWithButtonActuator sketch

[hek]

Skip the IRQ if you want (we don't use it in the library currently).

3v3 output on the mega is super junk. Try using a step down from the 5V rail to feed the radio.

nothing has changed

[Szmalu]

shouldn't I change sth in RF24_config.h ?

[TimO]

Did you change the sketch according to the connected CSN/CE Pins?

[Szmalu]

What exactly should i change?

You have to add CSN/CE Pin with the initialization.

Something like:

MySensor gw(8, 53);

Wow :) TimO thx a lot !!! it's alive :+1: I've connected humidity and temp sensor for testing,

[Szmalu]

Ok, so as temperature/humidity sensor it works ok :)

But I can't get it to work as relay node.
Rx led is blinking when I push the button but nothing else is happening (no affection @ relay).

As you can see in your messages the code "st=fail" means there is an issue.
Did you install the decoupling capacitor like mentioned here

As @hek mentioned the 3v3v output of a mega is (and I quote) "super junk" this might be the cause of your issue, the decoupling capacitor might just solve this (by the way it is always advisable to install these) but also the usage of a step down regulator so you can use the 5v rail to feed the radio could be necessary (in combination with the capacitor).

I have had a Mega + radio running on it's 3v3 feed with only the capacitor installed but all depends of the quality of your components so hard to say that this is always a winning combination, but that would be my way to go.

Please, could you post your code? I can´t make my arduino mega work.
