Node ESP8266 with NFR24 and WiFi disabled

[APL2017]

I happen to have few ESP8266 and NRF24+ laying around and would like to use ESP instead of Arduino to blend with the rest of mySensors network. I prefer WiFi disabled on ESP. Does anybody have a sample code to start with?

@apl2017 I don't think I have seen anyone use esp as nodes, but it should just be a matter of wiring and setting defines like the esp gateway, except removing MY_GATEWAYXESP8266. Then add the code for the node, just like a "normal" node.

Thank you, I will try

Here is my sketch intended to detect water leak from a sensor connected to D4:

#define MY_DEBUG
#define MY_BAUD_RATE 9600
#define MY_RADIO_RF24
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <MySensors.h>
#define LEAK_1_CHILD_ID 1
#define LEAK_1_PIN D4
bool LEAK_1;
bool last_LEAK_1;
MyMessage msg_LEAK_1(LEAK_1_CHILD_ID,V_TRIPPED);

void setup()
{
pinMode(LEAK_1_PIN,INPUT);
digitalWrite(LEAK_1_PIN,HIGH);
WiFi.mode( WIFI_OFF );
WiFi.forceSleepBegin();
}

void presentation()
{
present(LEAK_1_CHILD_ID, S_DOOR);
}

void loop()
{
LEAK_1 =digitalRead(LEAK_1_PIN);
if (LEAK_1 != last_LEAK_1)
{
send(msg_LEAK_1.set(LEAK_1));
last_LEAK_1 = LEAK_1;
}
}

Here is what I am reading over serial interface. After seems to be successful initial communication, ESP gets stack on not getting ACK from the radio. Any idea why?

@apl2017 on the öast message, the node is not getting ack from the next node. The mose common cause is i sufficiently clean power supply. What size of capacitor are you using? How is the radio getting its power?
Adding wait(200) before the send call can help the power to stabilize.

Since all communication before works, wiring and everything else should be ok.
