    Sorry m8. My thought was that depending how you run power and ground in your ciriut it can disturb the radio. For example i had a 5v arduino with a 5v relay and if i didn run the ground through the arduino but instead direct to ground the radio got to many spikes and i got really much st:fails.

      no worries, I done it my self my times.

      Right now I think the problem was a loose cap or bad/small cap. Before I used a 4.7uF, no I have one 100uF on each NRF.

        Yea, thats kind of interesting... i have 25+ nodes and everyone except the gateway runs on 4.7 only and it works great... but if that works for you im glad!

          Once I had similar problems, a 4.7nF cap and gw.wait(100) after each transmit did the trick for me... Hope it helps somehow.

          I also got to this solution when experienced the same 'st:fail' issue. The arduino's delay wont help, because it wont receive anything from radio during the delay.

          As i got mutch less or no error with ack = false, I thing its linked to receiving some ACK packets. I have no deeper information or debugging possibilities at the moment.
