Lost beginner - nodes, parent nodes and changes needed to sketches ?

What do you mean you don't have a gateway in place?
Apologies - I mean that I don't have a controller in place at the moment. I do have the serial gateway running, but no node ID variables / defines in there.

@anonymouslemming have you tried another arduino? I think I had once a similar issue, all was set correct but node did not connect. Changed the arduino and it worked.

I've tried 3 different Arduino Nano's on the switch module and 2 different radios. Replaced cables too. I tried a different Arduino Uno on the gateway module too.

I finally got this working. My problem was my radio's were not communicating. I went back to basics with an RF24 example sketch and found one of my radio's to be dead. After replacing it, I simply set
MY_NODE_ID in my sketch and everything is now working. -

@anonymouslemming it is always good to have spare parts around :D
@gohan I have SOOO many spare RF24's now - I bought a batch of 10 off of Amazon while debugging this.
:D

I hope yours are not the cheap crappy chinese clones like I got from Amazon too. If you paid less than 12$ for those, they most likely are too.
@gohan I'm almost 100% sure they're clones, yeah. But they've been going for 2 days now across the range of my house (while in low power mode - no capacitor in place yet), so they'll do for prototyping.
Once I get to designing and printing boards, then I'll be a lot fussier :)
