    I had read that. But, to be honest I could not make heads or tails about what the posters said did or did not work. There was no definitive answer on that thread. Some said try pins x/y/z and other said to try a/b/c. Yet, no one said "hey, this actually works". Closest was the comment by spugna85. But, looking at the v2 libraries it was already done (hence me using A0-2 pins).

    @wergeld - ok, to bad :( give google search a go, it might help you find other threads.
    I cant help you more, not a mega user myself. By the way, ethernet gw works great on Uno or Nano as well.

    Controller: Proxmox VM - Home Assistant
    MySensors GW: Arduino Uno - W5100 Ethernet, Gw Shield Nrf24l01+ 2,4Ghz
    MySensors GW: Arduino Uno - Gw Shield RFM69, 433mhz
    RFLink GW - Arduino Mega + RFLink Shield, 433mhz

      Yea, by my UNO is used for templating projects for my slimNode. I am only making the ethernet gateway because the direct-connection of the nrf to the RPi is not yet supporting v2 library. Just seems silly to include extra hardware (uno/mega and ethernet shield) when the RPi has GPIO and the nrf can be connected to it. I am using domoticz on the RPi using serial gateway but only with v1.4.

        Try with following defines and wire accordingly:

        #define MY_RF24_CE_PIN 40
        #define MY_RF24_CS_PIN 53

          Builds and still I get the error:

            I have this error also with a ENC28J60 module.
            I have used the 1.6.8/9 and 11 ide but that doesn't matter.
            This was on an Nano by the way.

              My gateway is based on a mega 2560 with following wiring:

              40 CE
              51 MOSI
              50 MISO
              52 SCK
              53 CSN

              and the defines from above:

              #define MY_RF24_CE_PIN 40
              #define MY_RF24_CS_PIN 53
              

              Do you have this wiring?

                @FotoFieber, no. As I stated above this is my wiring:

                A2 --> MISO
                A1 --> MOSI
                A0 --> SCK
                6 --> CSN
                5 --> CE
                

                When I changed CSN/CE to the 2 pins you mentioned above it was and I was still getting this error:

                A2 --> MISO
                A1 --> MOSI
                A0 --> SCK
                53 --> CSN
                40 --> CE
                

                To use your wiring I would need to modify the rest of the pin definitions in the code, yes?

                  Wiring like this does not apply for the Mega 2056

                  A2 --> MISO
                  A1 --> MOSI
                  A0 --> SCK

                  If you see from here -> https://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/file/view/Mega2-900.jpg/421499040/Mega2-900.jpg

                  Pinout for Mega 2056:
                  51 MOSI
                  50 MISO
                  52 SCK

                  You need to change your wiring.

                    @korttoma, excellent! I will try this out when I get home from work.
