NRF24L01 on GPIO

Post by 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!

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. ...
