<![CDATA[Digital Poti on same Pins as NRF24L01+ how can I solve this?]]>HI,

I would like to use a digital poti (MCP 4131). It uses the SPI.h and PINs 10/11/13 which collides with the NRF24L01+ pins.

How can I solve this?

Many Thanks

Petz

I'm blind...
maybe I can change it here:

int CS = 10;

sorry again

The Poti only uses SPI.h no other library is involved. And I don't find anything about PIN 10 in the mysensors.h. Where can I change that for the NRF24L01+?

Thanks

You can construct an instance of the rf24 radio :

MyTransportNRF24 transport(RF24_CE_PIN, RF24_CS_PIN, RF24_PA_LEVEL_GW);

At this point you can define an custom CE and CS Pin.

But it should be also possible to modify the poti code. What code are you using to read it?

The fourth pin 10 (CS) needs to be unique to each device. For this any free pin can be used.
One of both libarys (mysensors or mcp4131) needs to be reconfigured to use another pin for CS then pin 10.
