Hi Damon

Good to hear that this fixed your issue 🙂

I have a long term ambition of making a patch that would solve this issue, but since few people seem to use the library in this way it is not very high priority ;)

Best regards

Yes, flushing the Tx FIFO before loading the ACK payload did the trick.

The ACK payloads are only used infrequently to change the configuration of the PTXs (generally only in the Production dept.), so this seems saticfactory.

Hi Damon

The ACK payload implementation in the nrf_esb library is a bit restricted if you are using multiple pipes.

Could you try to flush the TX fifo before you upload the ACK payload to the new pipe?

The ACK payload feature should work fine if you only have packets on the same pipe in the buffer, but won't work well if you have multiple packets for different pipes loaded.
