NRF config help

[yanivf38]

Hi @loucks1,

I hope you can help me we some additional project settings. Looking at the pinout you posted it seems that you are using virtual SPI as opposed to hardware. Can you share your rf24_config.h. If it is virtual does it mean I need to install digitalIO library, change to softspi and update the pins, correct?

As I'm new to using NRF I'm not sure if I can just use the hardware spi.

Thanks in advance, Yaniv

Never mind :-)

It works perfectly out of the box without making any changes. It didn't work for me on esp8266 but it's probably my wiring..

now that it works. I'll modify the webserver to allow to update user name/password through AP and add MQTT support. I'll share once I get it working

I will say, I've never tried it with the 8266. Given how cheap the ESP32 is, would it make sense to spend time adding support for 8266?

Totally see your point. I had it laying around so why not. From engineering side it helps identify issues as it's more resource constrained. For example at the moment it causes directolor library to crash after about 5min. I will tackle the low hanging fruits first and see if it helps.

For example just scanning the code -

• The web generating has snprintf is set to 3000 while the buffer size is much smaller.
• shift left instead of doing pow
• define const char when passing static strings to printData
• nit : remove typedef from struct (not needed in c++)
