Receiving test code for the transmitter



You can download the NRF24 library here

To install it we just go to Sketch -> Include library and we open the .zip file that we've just downloaded.



Code!

Receiving test code!


/* Test code for the Radio control transmitter
 *  Install the NRF24 library to your IDE
 * Upload this code to the Arduino UNO
 * Connect a NRF24 module to it:
 
    Module // Arduino UNO
    
    GND    ->   GND
    Vcc    ->   3.3V
    CE     ->   D9
    CSN    ->   D10
    CLK    ->   D13
    MOSI   ->   D11
    MISO   ->   D12

This code should print the received values to the serial monitor

Now in order to test if the transmitter works well download the next code below and upload it to another arduino. Connect the NRF24 module to this second arduino in the same way as the transmitter. Power up the transmitter and open the serial monitor of the arduino IDE. This seconde test code should print on your monitor the received values. If the values are not in the range that you whant just use the "mapJoystickValues" function in the transmitter code to change the range.
