NRF24 i cant configure raspberry pi1

[Rodolfo Vieira]

@mfalkvidd lol ok, i am newbie sorry for the stupid acts.

1 ./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-port=5003 --my-gateway=ethernet --my-controller-ip-address=192.168.1.65

2 make

3 sudo ./bin/mysgw -h

4 sudo ./bin/mysgw -d

result:

mysgw: Starting gateway...
mysgw: Protocol version - 2.1.1
mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNG---,VER=2.1.1
mysgw: TSM:INIT
mysgw: TSF:WUR:MS=0
mysgw: !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL
mysgw: TSM:FAIL:CNT=1
mysgw: TSM:FAIL:PDT

[mfalkvidd]

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]

off course

@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.

@mfalkvidd ok no problem i waiting

[mfalkvidd]

@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.

[Rodolfo Vieira]

@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.

TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL

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

[Rodolfo Vieira]

@mfalkvidd
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..... :(

[mfalkvidd]

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.

[mfalkvidd]

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

[Rodolfo Vieira]

@mfalkvidd
may be all my nrf24 are damaged, i have 3.

Is there any way to check if they are good?
If the connections are well made should work correct?

And is an external source even necessary?

tomorrow i will test what do you say me now, because now have to go to work.

Same problem here.

[Rodolfo Vieira]

@Juan-González-M. said in NRF24 i cant configure raspberry pi1:

Same problem here.

If you solve the problem please tell me.

hi,

I just did this setup last week and also had similar problems. I did run make without any options added. NRF24 is allready enabled by default.

One thing I did was to enable SPI and then I think it worked better. There's options in "sudo raspi-config" (advanced menu) to enable I2C and SPI, could that be the issue?
