    The SPI Pins are different on the MEGA2560 than on a 328-Arduino.

    How is your wiring of the NRF24L01+?

      I am using the following hookup on the ethernet shield to the nrf+:
      A2 --> MISO
      A1 --> MOSI
      A0 --> SCK
      6 --> CSN
      5 --> CE

          I had read that. But, to be honest I could not make heads or tails about what the posters said did or did not work. There was no definitive answer on that thread. Some said try pins x/y/z and other said to try a/b/c. Yet, no one said "hey, this actually works". Closest was the comment by spugna85. But, looking at the v2 libraries it was already done (hence me using A0-2 pins).

            @wergeld - ok, to bad :( give google search a go, it might help you find other threads.
            I cant help you more, not a mega user myself. By the way, ethernet gw works great on Uno or Nano as well.

              Yea, by my UNO is used for templating projects for my slimNode. I am only making the ethernet gateway because the direct-connection of the nrf to the RPi is not yet supporting v2 library. Just seems silly to include extra hardware (uno/mega and ethernet shield) when the RPi has GPIO and the nrf can be connected to it. I am using domoticz on the RPi using serial gateway but only with v1.4.

                Try with following defines and wire accordingly:

                #define MY_RF24_CE_PIN 40
                #define MY_RF24_CS_PIN 53

                  Builds and still I get the error:

                    I have this error also with a ENC28J60 module.
                    I have used the 1.6.8/9 and 11 ide but that doesn't matter.
                    This was on an Nano by the way.

                      @wergeld
                      My gateway is based on a mega 2560 with following wiring:

                      40 CE
                      51 MOSI
                      50 MISO
                      52 SCK
                      53 CSN

                      and the defines from above:

                      #define MY_RF24_CE_PIN 40
                      #define MY_RF24_CS_PIN 53
                      

                      Do you have this wiring?

                        @FotoFieber, no. As I stated above this is my wiring:

                        A2 --> MISO
                        A1 --> MOSI
                        A0 --> SCK
                        6 --> CSN
                        5 --> CE
                        

                        When I changed CSN/CE to the 2 pins you mentioned above it was and I was still getting this error:

                        A2 --> MISO
                        A1 --> MOSI
                        A0 --> SCK
                        53 --> CSN
                        40 --> CE
                        

                        To use your wiring I would need to modify the rest of the pin definitions in the code, yes?

                          Wiring like this does not apply for the Mega 2056

                          A2 --> MISO
                          A1 --> MOSI
                          A0 --> SCK

                          If you see from here -> https://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/file/view/Mega2-900.jpg/421499040/Mega2-900.jpg

                          Pinout for Mega 2056:
                          51 MOSI
                          50 MISO
                          52 SCK

                          You need to change your wiring.
