@Grubstake: Thanks. I have tried to follow "NRF24L01+ Radio" pin out connection. I have double / triple check my wiring is correct. But I still get the same fail message in mysgw debug mode:

[root@alarmpi bin]# ./mysgw -d

Here is my /boot/config.txt:

gpu_mem=64
initramfs initramfs-linux.img followkernel
dtparam=spi=on

and the spi dev:

# ls /dev/spidev0.*
/dev/spidev0.0  /dev/spidev0.1

I am using ArchLinuxARM:

# uname -a
Linux alarmpi 4.9.13-3-ARCH #1 SMP Fri Mar 3 18:45:16 MST 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux

I only wiring 7 pins (1-7) on NRF24l01+.

Output from MySensors configure:

# ./configure
[SECTION] Detecting target machine.
./configure: line 111: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input
  [OK] machine detected: SoC=unknown, Type=unknown, CPU=armv7l.

I finally find out my raspberry pi board isn't detected properly in configure. I change the function detect_machine:

function detect_machine {
...
    case $hardware in
...
    BCM2835)
        soc="BCM2835"
        if [[ $machine == "Raspberry"* ]]; then
            local rev=($(detect_rpi_revision))
            if [[ $rev == "a02082" || $rev == "a22082" ]]; then
                tp="RPi3"
            else
                tp="Rpi2"
            fi
        fi
        ;;
...

make mysgw again, and I get this finally:

# ./mysgw -d

@gohan Is there a way to know the channel by doing some sort of scan? If the channel is known, what are the setting to fix the channel for mysgw?

ccy

@gohan Yes. I want to do that. I am sure my LED controller is 2.4G RF. But I can't detect any signal yet from my nrf24l01+ on raspberry pi. I am not sure what's wrong. Still trying now...

ccy

@gohan Sorry for my typo mistake. I can now run mysgw. But what can I use it for? I am trying to control my light with 2.4G RF.

ccy

I can run mysgw. But what can I use it for? I want to make it control my light with 2.4G RF. But I don't know what to do next. Please advice Thank you.
