3 years ago If it only starts up properly some of the time, I would guess power supply related. If a high powered pa+lna module you need a separate power supply. Else try adding a capacitor to the radio module and using short leads. RF24Mesh won’t work much better than RF24Network.

So, I am using the example for master on an RPi. 1st, when launching, it doesn't always start in 1MBPS and show a + symbol by the model. IE mesh.begin(0x5c, RF24_1MBPS); Restart a couple of times and it starts working, sort of. Sometimes it starts receving and other times it just sits there. Now to make it really strange, if I go to a windows pc and launch a master.ino program, they will both start running as a master. A master and 2 slaves, running on three windows pc's seem to be fine. Really need the RPi being the master. The last few weeks, I have had a system working with network, but was not happy with the relay from 1 node to another to get back to the master. At times, it seemed like the data was getting lost as the master would have different counts for recvd packets than nodes talking directly to the master. Was hoping MESH would work better. Probably left out something in this issue, but something strange is going on.
