    hello everbody, i need your help.
    I connect my NRF to Raspberrypi according the tutorial: https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry

    1 step i installed that line:
    git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git --branch master

    OK

    2 step i wrote: cd MySensors

    but when i tried 3 step

    pi@hassbian:~ $ cd MySensors
    pi@hassbian:~/MySensors $ --my-transport=nrf24

    give this error:

    -bash: --my-transport=nrf24: command not found

    what can i do?

    thanks

    @Rodolfo-Vieira enter ./configure before you add all the parameters

            @Rodolfo-Vieira that is just a warning. What does it say after?

              now what the frequency i should in this line:
              --my-transport=rfm69 --my-rfm69-frequency=868 --my-is-rfm69hw

              remember i use nrf24 no rfm69

                @Rodolfo-Vieira none of the rfm parameters are applicable if you use the nrf24 radio.

                    @Rodolfo-Vieira everything on a single line :)
                    ./configure and then add all the options you want. Then press enter. Then run make.

                    But it looks like the radio is not correctly wired. Could you post a photo?

                        TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL means the software is unable to communicate with the radio. That is usually due to the radio not being correctly wired. Could you post a photo?

                            @Rodolfo-Vieira thanks. It will take me a while to compare to the wiring guide but I'll report as soon as I have mapped the colors.

                                @Rodolfo-Vieira on raspberry pi 1, pin 15 is not gnd. Move it to pin 20 or one of the other gnd pins. Stop mysgw (ctrl+c) and start it again after you have switched pins.

                                  @mfalkvidd you are correct. I confirm all the wires 5 times.
                                  but the error is the same.

                                  after that i changed my nrf for two other that i had, and the error is the same.

                                  exist any way to confirm if the nrf24 is working fine? may be my nrf are damaged. i dont know.

                                  edit: I tried to , connect POWER NRF24 to external power, and connect ground external power to ground raspberry pi.. and the result is the same.

                                    @Rodolfo-Vieira do you mean that moving gnd on nrf24 from 19 to 20 on raspberry pi did not help?

                                      yes i changed gnd As you told me,,,and not work.
                                      after that i confirm again all wires...and not work again.... then i connect more two nrf24...make sudo reboot
                                      and run sudo ./bin/mysgw -d

                                      but the error is the same,,, so a decide help with external source 3.3v

                                      i connected wire power nrf24 ---> power external source
                                      gnd powersource -------> other gnd raspberry pi

                                      sudo reboot again...
                                      after sudo ./bin/mysgw -d

                                      and the error is the same..... :(

                                        Sorry, I see now that I probably misinterpreted the photo.

                                        Cross-referencing your colors with the official wiring instructions is very tedious.

                                        But it looks like the wiring is indeed correct.

                                          Easiest way to check the nrf is probably to build a node, if you have a spare Arduino.
