NRF24L01 does not work on scene controller



  • Hello!
    I'm new on Mysensors forum. I have and Arduino Mega 2560 and NRF24L01 radio conecter on pins 14 for SCK, 15 for MOSI, 16 for MISO, 17 for CE and 18 for CS. I Have a LIL9481 display configured in the sketchs as CTE32HR on pins 38, 39, 40, 41. The problem is when I boot the program it just does not show anything on the display. I attach the sketck I have so far. Please check it and tell me what can be wrong and how to get the "SceneController" to be displayed. I apologize if the topic is not in the right place, please put it where it should go. Thanks in advance.

    Sketch code:

    /**
     * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
     * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
     * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
     * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
     * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

     * REVISION HISTORY
     * Version 1.0 - Henrik Ekblad
     * 
     * DESCRIPTION
     * http://www.mysensors.org/build/scene_controller
     * Touch Display Scene Controller build using a touch enabled tft display
     * attached to a ATMega 2560. This example fetches time from controller and sends
     * in scene commands to the controller. 
     * Short press sends V_SCENE_ON and long press (>0.5sec) sends V_SCENE_OFF.
     *
     * Henrik Ekblad <henrik.ekblad@mysensors.org>
     *
     * This example uses:
     * UTFT library: http://www.henningkarlsen.com/electronics/library.php?id=51
     * Convert your own images here: http://www.henningkarlsen.com/electronics/t_imageconverter565.php
     *
     * The 3v3 output on the ATMega2560 is especially bad. I had to use a step down 
     * on the 5V output to get solid transmissions.

    I already found a solition. By default, the MyConfig.h library sets CE, CS, to pins 9, 10, respectively. I simply have to manually set CE and CS on pins 17 and 18. When I connect the gateway, it assigns me an ID and shows me the image on the display.
