arduino mega nrf wiring

[Michel Lallemand]

I want to connect my nRF24L01 on my Arduino Mega created for a gateway Mysensors

I do not know how to do ?

thank you for your help cordially

@Michel-Lallemand the Mega has different pins for SPI. I don't have a Mega myself, but this thread should cover what you need to do.

Please post the result here. If the instructions work, I will add them to the radio page.

Just connect it like this

That should Work.

In your arduino code add the following before the #include <SPI.h>
#include <MySensors.h>

// Pin Confuguration for Arduino Mega
#define MY_RF24_CE_PIN 40
#define MY_RF24_CS_PIN 53

and you are good. :)

@ayo for me didn't worked.. maybe because i have an updated mysensor library?

@Edoardo-Macrì hour you describe "not working" in more detail?
The MySensors library has not been updated since July and even if it had been updated it should work.

[ayo]

@Edoardo-Macrì It should work irrespective of the library version. Cross check your connection again, don't forget about capacitors too and lastly make sure you add that #define part into your code.

@ayo I have this problem too, I can't get the radio modules work, the modules are nRF24L01 and I have tested with two arduino nano and two Arduino mega2560, but there is no result. The transmitter and receiver can not contact each other.
