    Hello,
    I have an arduino mega 2560 Geekcreit, that seems to work well on basic sketches.
    uploaded the basic gateway sketch version 2.1.1 with nothing added.
    Connected a radio that has been tested on a uno and that works on this arduino uno.
    wiring double checked. capacitor added on 3.3V and GND.
    Voltage measurement on the radio : 3.29V and seeming stable.
    Below is my debug log.
    What else can I try to make it work, or find the fault?
    Thanks.

    Nicolas

      Double check the wiring and if you used the right pins for the mega 2560

        @npiot also check that you've added the defines required for nrf24 on mega ( i structions are available at https://www.mysensors.org/build/connect_radio )

          Well, thanks a lot, it solved it. I saw the different wiring for mega2560, but not the star which added two lines to the sketch :
          #define MY_RF24_CE_PIN 49
          #define MY_RF24_CS_PIN 53

          It works now! thanks also for your reactivity;

            @npiot great, thanks for reporting back. And the star wasn't there before, I added it when I suspected that the defines could be easily missed :) Thanks for helping make the documentation better.
