      @vladimir the shopping guide at https://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio lists a logic level shifter.

        I hope you didn't fry the rfm69, so in case you are still having problems with the level shifter connected try with another module

          @gohan I'm afraid that they suffered greatly during my experiments. I'll try with the new ones. Can you tell me how to connect the converter?

            https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/bi-directional-logic-level-converter-hookup-guide and https://learn.adafruit.com/neopixel-levelshifter/shifting-levels are pretty extensive guides

              @mfalkvidd Thank you! I hope I can figure it out. To regret, my knowledge of English is not very great. As I understand it, the connection scheme will be the most similar to this:

                @vladimir yes, that looks great (except for the brown cable that doesn't go through the level shifter)

                  @mfalkvidd So I do not like the converter for 4 channels?
                  Here this is indicated by the link you gave me above
                  alt text
                  It will take 5? More precisely 8-channel version?

                    @vladimir you will need to shift all signals. You can use multiple 4x boards, or a bigger board.

                    Edit: maybe miso and dio0 don't need to be shifted, since the Arduino only reads from it. But I am not 100% sure.

                        4ch is enough as the brown cable is the interrupt signal so it's just an input on the arduino

                          @gohan @mfalkvidd Tell me please, can I connect the converter like this? If not, please explain why.

                            No you can't, because 3.3v are needed to power the level shifter and the radio module. Level shifter is not a voltage regulator.
