• Has anyone managed to make this work?

    I'm using the RF24 arduino library from here:
    https://github.com/TMRh20/RF24

    Espruino:

    SPI1.setup({sck:A5, miso:A6, mosi:A7}); // B0, 1 used for other pins.
    
    
    var nrf1 = require("http://localhost/NRF24L01P.min.­js").connect( SPI1, B0, B1, 32);//Arduino library defaults 32 byte packet length. 
    nrf1.init([0xE7,0xE7,0xE7,0xE7,0xE7], [0xE8,0xE8,0xF0,0xF0,0xE1]);
    
    nrf1.setReg(0x05,76); //The arduino library uses channel 76
    
    var test=[222,173,190,239,222,173,190,239,22­2,173,190,239,222,173,190,239];
    var test2=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,­15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,2­8,29,30,31,32];
    
    

    My version of the NRF module was modified to change the BASE_CONFIG to use 2-byte CRC, since the arduino library wants that; no other changes.

    Code on Arduino side (hacked up from an example)

    //
    // Hardware configuration
    //
    
    // Set up nRF24L01 radio on SPI bus plus pins 9 & 10
    
    RF24 radio(9,10);
    
    
    
    //
    // Topology
    //
    
    // Single radio pipe address for the 2 nodes to communicate.
    const uint64_t pipe = 0xE8E8F0F0E1LL;
    
    uint8_t payload_data[16];
    
    
    //
    // Setup
    //
    
    void setup(void)
    {
      //
      // Role
      //
    
      Serial.begin(57600);
      printf_begin();
      printf("\n\rRF24/examples/led_remote/\n\­r");
    
      //
      // Setup and configure rf radio
      //
    
      radio.begin();
    
      //
      // Open pipes to other nodes for communication
      //
    
      // This simple sketch opens a single pipes for these two nodes to communicate
      // back and forth.  One listens on it, the other talks to it.
    
      
      radio.openReadingPipe(1,pipe);
      radio.startListening();
      radio.printDetails();
    
    
    }
    
    //
    // Loop
    //
    
    void loop(void)
    {
    
      // if there is data ready
      if ( radio.available() )
      {
        // Dump the payloads until we've gotten everything
        bool done = false;
        while (!done)
        {
          // Fetch the payload, and see if this was the last one.
          radio.read( payload_data, 16 );
          done=radio.available();
          // Spew it
          printf("Got payload\n\r");
          int i;
          for (i = 0; i < 16; i = i + 1) {
            Serial.print(payload_data[i]);
          }
        }
      }
    }
    

    Serial output is this - which all looks right:

    STATUS		 = 0x0e RX_DR=0 TX_DS=0 MAX_RT=0 RX_P_NO=7 TX_FULL=0
    RX_ADDR_P0-1	 = 0xe7e7e7e7e7 0xe8e8f0f0e1
    RX_ADDR_P2-5	= 0xc3 0xc4 0xc5 0xc6
    TX_ADDR		 = 0xe7e7e7e7e7
    RX_PW_P0-6	= 0x00 0x20 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
    EN_AA		 = 0x3f
    EN_RXADDR	= 0x03
    RF_CH		= 0x4c
    RF_SETUP	= 0x07
    CONFIG		 = 0x0f
    DYNPD/FEATURE	= 0x00 0x00
    Data Rate	 = 1MBPS
    Model		 = nRF24L01+
    CRC Length	 = 16 bits
    PA Power	 = PA_MAX
    

    On the Espruino, I try to do:

    nrf1.send(test2);
    TX not received 30
    =false

    I remember reading a post by someone else doing this - I can't seem to find it now though. I'm wondering if they ever got it working.... The NRF24 should be a great way to do simple communications between an Espruino and one or more less-capable Arduino-like devices tucked into corners, or located outdoors, etc.
