nRF24L01+ 250kbps problem

nRF24L01+ 250kbps problem was created by jgrolik
Hi,

Some time ago I bought nRF24L01+ from Nettigo.eu and connected it to low power hacked Arduino Pro Mini.
After few complications with older versions Arduino and bootloader finally I programmed it via "external programmer".
I set 250 kbps as the default speed in the MyConfig.h library, and flashed it with door_window_sensor.
Unfortunately there was no communication between Raspberry Pi and sensor.
I changed channels, added capacitors to power supply of nRF24L01+ and nothing (timeout when adding node)
Finally I changed the speed to 1MBPS and it started to communicate with server.

They are marked as + so they should work with 250 kbps modulation.

Any suggestions ?

PS: Unfortunately I have problems with debugging with Arduino via RS.

PS: On Raspberry I get that status :

So it looks like it is nRF24L01+

I have finally succeed with serial debugging :-)

And this is what I get:

So it looks like it is nRF24L01+



Did you change baudrate also on RP? I see 1MBPS in debug output.

Thanks for reply.

Yes I changed on RPi . The status I included was from working node.
Last night I solved the problem. I changed the RF channel to 110 :-) so probably it was noise from WiFi frequency or some wireless device. RF channel 110 is outside the WiFi frequencies. It is quite strange because I doubly check on what WiFi frequencies I have signals using WiFi scanner. I thought that if there is 3 WiFi channel free space between nRF24L01+ freq. it will be enough.
But why it was working on 1MBPs (on limited distance ca. 3-4m) ?
