Thank you for your answers. The first problem is that I set the channel before the (void)nrf_esb_init(NRF_ESB_MODE_PRX);so it doesn't work. The second problem is that all the devices use the same pipe.so I should use the different ID to distinguish them.However,I want to know if there are many devices,how the host to know which device the data are from? By the data_ready() callback function?

Beware that you can change the configuration of the ESB module only when it's disabled, so you should always make sure that you check the status returned by the functions. In your case, it might be that the new configuration isn't used at all, if you call this without first disabling ESB.

As for the latter, you can for example configure each of the devices with their own pipe. You can then check the rx_pipe argument of your data_ready() callback function to know which device sent the data

Another option could be to include some identification byte in the payload. This is particularly useful if you need to receive data from more devices than the number of pipes available.
