NRF24L01 on GPIO

[Thelion]

Hi!

I connected a NRF24L01 on the GPIO of my RaspBerry Pi 3B, using this page:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/pi-mi-light/

It all seems to be connected correctly, but whatever I do with my Mi-Light, nothing is detected when in listening mode. When I run a test with another program/script, it shows no errors if communicating with the NRF24L01, when all is connected and shows an error when I disconnect a wire.

I use the 2,4Ghz WiFi iBox to control the lights through the Mi-Light app and that works like it is supposed to.

The NRF24L01 should pick up the signal from the iBox right? Or only from the remote control, which I don't have.

Any thought are very welcome.

With kind regards,

Martijn

What's the relation to domoticz?

I have read that the NRF24 module needs a very stable 3.3v or add a 10uF capacitor accross the powersupply lines of the chip

Hi Sweetpants,

The relation to Domoticz is that I want to use Domoticz with the NRF24 to control my Mi-Light lighting.

A capacitor. Interesting. Never saw anything regarding a capacitor. Will try that. Thanks!

You may need a voltage regulator too if are using max power

No problem there. You have warnings (which are just that and can be ignored) but no errors.

Hey,

From the website you linked:

... then press the On button for Zone 1 on the remote a couple of times. ...

Or only from the remote control, which I don't have.

I think there is the problem...
