 I have some problem. My code was working and everything was fine, but I decided to improve my program. I made some changes, and now TX_DS interrupt on PRX side doesn&amp;#39;t fire. :( 
 From the beginning: 
 PTX side: this side is sending some packet</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 13 Oct 2014 08:24:12 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/3885/can-t-get-tx_ds-interrupt-on-prx-side-ack-payload" /><item><title>RE: Can't get TX_DS interrupt on PRX side (ACK payload)</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/13966?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 13 Oct 2014 08:24:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:8b4d1c57-c1d7-419d-86df-6d87e8ae5c47</guid><dc:creator>Asbj&amp;#248;rn</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Usually when you don&amp;#39;t see a TX_DS or RX_DR interrupt it either isn&amp;#39;t received/sent at all or the payload is static and the receiver of either the original packet or the ACK discard the payload as re-transmit. Add a counter byte to the payload to make sure the payload isn&amp;#39;t static.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make sure that the original packet/ACK is actually sent by monitoring the VDD_PA pin on the nRF24L01+. This pin will go up to 1.8 V for as long as the chip is in TX mode. So you should see it rise to 1.8 V on both the PTX and PRX. See if they match up and the pattern makes sense.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Could it be that during the writing of a new ACK payload you get interrupted by a new incoming packet and hence never complete writing the ACK payload? You could verify this by delaying the TX operation on the PTX, at least for testing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
