Cant get Getting started working

Open Ardidrones opened this issue 12 years ago • 6 comments

Hi Guys

I have a few of these units lying at home and cant get them to work , I found this site lastweek and have been trying to get the” getting started” example working but with no luck, checked all the wires 4 times made all the libraries local in the Pde to try cancel out file path issues , but still nothing when i start the serial monitor next to all the Config print lines I get 0xff so it seesm like the radio doesnt int. properly . any ideas?

Sorry, no.  If the wires are hooked up correctly, and the modules are functioning correctly, this will always work.

Why would you define them as 9,10 then in the software

Because the Getting Started blog posts instructs to hook up lines 9 & 10 to CE & CSN.

First and for most. Thank you for all your work on this. I have configured two boards just like your site says on http://maniacbug.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/getting-started-rf24/ . Get them both started and both on the monitor so I can see the status. At this point I press "t" on my Monitor of Com4. It reports that it is Failing. I toggle com 4 back by pressing "r". I press "t" on my Monitor of Com3 and I start to get a good result. Now if I toggle com3 back with a "r" and toggle Com4 to "t"...it works good now.
