NRF24 questions

I am starting to use the NRF24... modules I got with the espruino and the master/slave example that I found in the code examples worked really great initially. I then modified the example of the master slightly:

SPI1.setup({sck:A5, miso:A6, mosi:A7});
var nrf = require("NRF24L01P").connect( SPI1, B0, B1 );
var counter = 0;
function onInit() {
  //transmit, receive
  nrf.init([0,0,0,0,2], [0,0,0,0,1]);
  
  setInterval(function() {
    nrf.sendCommand("" + counter++, function(r) { print("=="+r); });
  }, 1000);
}
onInit();
setInterval(function() {
  nrf.masterHandler();
}, 50);

It sends the counter variable to the slave, then prints the response. So ideally it will print the increasing numbers.

Two observations:

• when starting up, and once also just in the middle of runing the master code, I see

  TX not received 30
  TX not received 30
  ==@
  ==
   
  ==‚!€B
  ==€A
  ==8
  ==9
  ==
  ==15
  

• I sometimes get an empty response - the output from teh print is just == in this case. That seems simple to check against, just wondering what the issue is and if it could be fixed.

• after running this counter till around 600, I disconnected. then connected again and got a massive out of memory error. is this because of the print statement which might queue the output?

All output is below:
