I'm new so please forgive my ignorance. HELP

I have 2 arduinos with nrf24l01+ radios attached to each arduino. I uploaded the "relay with button" sketches onto each arduino. on arduino1 I have wired a momentary on button to pin 3 through switch to ground. on arduino2 I have a relay attached to pin 4. I have made no changes to code and everything is wired correctly. whenever i push the button on arduino1 the state of arduino2 pin 4 never changes. Am i missing something here? Thank you in advance.

@youngst123 MySensors is designed to work with a gateway and central controller. I believe it's possible for direct sensor node to sensor node communications, but does not work that way by default.

OK thank you for replying. so for this to work i wound need to purchase some sort of controller like a "middle man"

@youngst123 You don't need to purchase one as there are a number of free ones available, but all need some type of hardware to run on. The gateway is simply another Arduino with NRF radio and a sketch specific for it.

@Sparkman ok i have another arduino what sketch do you recommend i use on it?
@youngst123 The easiest is the serial gateway sketch: http://www.mysensors.org/build/serial_gateway#upload-the-serialusb-gateway-sketch. For an easy controller to test things with, try MysController: http://www.mysensors.org/controller/myscontroller. You will need a Windows PC for it.
