Issue while interfacing NRF24L01 and RFID on same arduino
-
I wanted to interface an RFID sensor and NRF24L01 on same arduino and on the other end another arduino with NRF24L01 to recive a message if the card is detected.

Welcome to the MySensors community @123cheatn !
Have you looked at the MySensors rfid example?
-
@123cheatn if you can't resolve your issue with the example provided by @mfalkvidd then please give a thorough description of the issue.
Helping is hard when you only state it just doesn't work
-
I had the same problem when I tried it: if you connect the rfid reader you loose the nrf24 communication. It is like they don't like sharing the SPI
-
@gohan that's probably why the examples has this:
// Enable soft spi as radio has a hard time sharing spi
-
thanks to all of you for the reply.
I found the solution.
after looking at the code and some debugging.
my code is working fine now.

But you still haven't used any mysensors code
-
@gohan and we still don't know what the issue was
-
he wrote me a PM, so the problem is the one I described
-
@yveaux the problem was in the code and in the circuit, actually both the modules were not working together.
Previously I had to disconnect either one of the module.
-
hey, @gohan it was working fine without mysensors library.
-
@123cheatn Ok, clear. Thanks for reporting back!
-
@123cheatn if you make it to work with mysensors, pls report back
-
@gohan sure I will try.
-
@123cheatn I'm trying very similar project but could not achieve it
On master Arduino, RFID UID ID will be read and send to 4 other Arduinos; they will react regarding to UID ID (activate a relay, led etc.). Also those 4 Arduinos have MFRC522 but won't be sending RF UID ID's, just reacting depending on which UID ID read by their reader.
I think I could not solve multiple SPI module code
