RE: problem communicating with NRF24L01+? How to choose pipeline address?

I'm not very familiar with the Arduino code. Could you try to send random data instead of true and false ? Device stops working after 3 times doesn't make much sense. if you change the address would it work again for 3 times ?

hello sir and i'm also facing another issue. My nrf24L01 is working but at certain time the TX is sending the data but the RX is not receiving it. after I'm changing the pipeline address it worked perfectly for 3 times and after that it is not working.Im adding the Tx and Rx code along with this help me to reslove it .

Tx code

   6 - MOSI to Arduino pin 11
   7 - MISO to Arduino pin 12
   8 - UNUSED

I'm glad that it works now. If the answer was correct, please mark it as accepted answer.

Thanks Hung bai we finally successful transmitted and received data . After changing address of Tx and Rx .

Please try to follow the documention in the nRF24L01P product specification, for example the Appendix A.

Usually noise shouldn't be able to completely block all package. It more likely issue with your configuration. Make sure you have set the TX address and the RX_ADDR_P0 on the PTX to match with the RX address on the PRX.
