Hello nordic, I have used the nrf24 before with ARM, and this go around its AVR, not that that changes much but looking for some help. I'm familiar with how this chip work and the data sheet as well as the tutorials. I only have one arduino atm so I can not test that the modals are working but have little reason to think they are bad. As for the SPI side of things I'm good there... I'm just not seeing my replies on the arduino end, so my set up must be busted.
Issues.
1) I can not find the reply section in the data sheet, I just do not remember where it is. I get the 0x0e, 0x00 with most all address rights except 0x20, that one gives me an 0xe7 on the first byte.
send 0x20 (reply 0x0e) send 0x0a (reply:0xe7)
where can I look up the e7?
2) A future question if I may, in theory, I could send a code and receive data right? That is to say my transmit can send 0x44 (maybe more bytes) and expect a reply from the receiver? Or is this going to be a single direction communication? If it is single direction, I assume I can always swap the roles? I never used it that way before.
3) my code, I'm pretty sure the CE CSN stuff is correct based on the replies on the spi. This is for the transmit end.
void pulse (void)//my CE pulse
{
ATT_ON();_delay_us(10);ATT_OFF();
}
void Enable(void) //these are my CSN states
{
PORTB &= ~0x01;
_delay_us(1);
}
void Disable(void)
{
PORTB |= 0x01;
_delay_us(1);
}

on my arduino ill just post the config set up reply.
