Hi Gert. Any luck?

[GertSanders]

@alexsh1 nope. The atmega328p's all work properly and get recognised. The atmega1284p never gets a reply.
I'm wondering if it has to do with the selection of pinout. I selected "Standard" pinout, which is a pin definition used in AVR Freaks site. There is also Bobuino and Sanguino. Still need to test those.

@alexsh1
SOLVED: the problem with my atmega1284p was the mapping of the CE pin.
I needed to add the following to my sketch:
#define MY_RF24_CE_PIN 1
The reason is that I used a "standard" pinout, so CE is not on Arduino pin 9.
In my pin-definition "CE" is Arduino pin 1 or chip pin PB1.
There are several mappings possible for this chip:
https://github.com/MCUdude/MightyCore
So I need to look at the pin mapping again, and may refresh the boot loader with one of the MightyCore boot loaders ( I flashed this chip back in early 2015).

I use the following mapping:

// ATMEL ATMEGA1284P
//
//                   +---\/---+
//           (D 0) PB0  1|        |40  PA0 (AI 0 / D24)
//           (D 1) PB1  2|        |39  PA1 (AI 1 / D25)
//      INT2 (D 2) PB2  3|        |38  PA2 (AI 2 / D26)
//       PWM (D 3) PB3  4|        |37  PA3 (AI 3 / D27)
//    PWM/SS (D 4) PB4  5|        |36  PA4 (AI 4 / D28)
//      MOSI (D 5) PB5  6|        |35  PA5 (AI 5 / D29)
//  PWM/MISO (D 6) PB6  7|        |34  PA6 (AI 6 / D30)
//   PWM/SCK (D 7) PB7  8|        |33  PA7 (AI 7 / D31)
//                 RST  9|        |32  AREF
//                 VCC 10|        |31  GND 
//                 GND 11|        |30  AVCC
//               XTAL2 12|        |29  PC7 (D 23)
//               XTAL1 13|        |28  PC6 (D 22)
//      RX0 (D 8)  PD0 14|        |27  PC5 (D 21) TDI
//      TX0 (D 9)  PD1 15|        |26  PC4 (D 20) TDO
// RX1/INT0 (D 10) PD2 16|        |25  PC3 (D 19) TMS
// TX1/INT1 (D 11) PD3 17|        |24  PC2 (D 18) TCK
//      PWM (D 12) PD4 18|        |23  PC1 (D 17) SDA
//      PWM (D 13) PD5 19|        |22  PC0 (D 16) SCL
//      PWM (D 14) PD6 20|        |21  PD7 (D 15) PWM
//                   +--------+
//

And there is some renaming here:

static const uint8_t SS   = 4;
static const uint8_t MOSI = 5;
static const uint8_t MISO = 6;
static const uint8_t SCK  = 7;

static const uint8_t SDA = 17;
static const uint8_t SCL = 16;
static const uint8_t LED = 7;

static const uint8_t A0 = 24;
static const uint8_t A1 = 25;
static const uint8_t A2 = 26;
static const uint8_t A3 = 27;
static const uint8_t A4 = 28;
static const uint8_t A5 = 29;
static const uint8_t A6 = 30;
static const uint8_t A7 = 31;

So most pins mapped correctly, except for CE ...

fixed now with the #define

@gertsanders that’s interesting. How exactly do you connect nrf24l01+?
I have Mightyduino

http://www.innovafabs.eu/index.php?route=product/category&path=18_64

Glad you sorted it out

[GertSanders]

@alexsh1

MISO, MOSI and SCK are connected to the pins that carry this function
CE -> PB1
CSN -> PB4

I use PB0 to show a flashing in the bootloader.

[alexsh1]

@gertsanders Thank you! You are using prototype wires or did you come up with a PCB adapter? I would like to MySensorise it, but would rather use an adapter.

I also wish there was a solder joint for the power LED

[GertSanders]

@alexsh1 hi Alex, it is how I routed my PCB.

[alexsh1]

@gertsanders but do you have an adapter PCB like this one

https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/CtW4Xaow

or connect your PCB with wires?

[GertSanders]

@alexsh1
I have a DIL connector on my PCB, and the nrf24l01+ plugs into it. On my testboard I'm still using the non-smd version.

@gertsanders said in Latest beta build of Domoticz (9379) crashes when adding new sensors:

DIL connector

:+1:
I do not have a PCB. I have the atmega1284p board (Mightyduino) -> https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/zuZ4OIae

and would like to have a moteino like board with either nrf24l01+ or rfm69 on it

I can use wires to connect a transceiver but would like to have a neat solution
