Inspiration from iforce2d (https://www.youtube.com/user/iforce2d) led me to add acknowledgement packet payloads to my wearable project. This is in preparation for building a cheap radio control transmitter and receiver (based on the nRF24L01+) to control my home build quadcopter project.

    I loved your project
    Could you make the code available?
    No longer available on hastebin

    Great idea much needed

    hi, can you give me any hint on how to measure and display battery voltage as you did? thanks in advance

    hello, awesome project there, so whats the purpose of the capacitor on the NRF24?, thanks!

    nRF24L01+ is a great module, works like a charm, never had any problems with it, and the documentation is nice (which is not a common thing). I had some experience with CC430 previously, and it wasn't nearly as good.

    Julian, I'm building the Cheapass radio system and one thing that springs to mind is that the NRF module operates on a single frequency whereas everything else in the crowded ISM. band at 2.4 Ghz uses spread spectrum ( frequency hopping) of some type. So at a crowded flying field your single channel might be at risk of interference from other systems. Iforce2d flies in a very rural area and I would be surprised if he has the same issue. I would be interested in your thoughts on this. Alan

    Granted, I am quite a novice when it comes to these things. I have been playing with the Arduinos and ESP8266's for some time but never built much that was usefull, save a couple of thermometers, one on each platform. That said, I recently purchased an ESPDUINO, that being a sort of hybred of the two, or better an ESP8266 in the shape and design of an Arduino with the same pinouts (mostly) and side by side it would be hard to tell them apart until you got close enough to see the ESP8266-13 soldered onto the arduino board. I got to thinking that with the additional speed, and the various sizes and shapes of the 8266 couldn't this perhaps be ported to that platform, thus giving you much faster processing speed, and reaction speed as well as a stronger radio to work with? Now that the ESP8266 can be programed on the Arduino software system shouldn't the porting be quite easy? Just a thought, this is going to be a very interesting build!

    Is it possible to get RSSI by doing something with nrf24l01 and arduino

    Hi, any chance you could post the code again for this, it's no longer available on hastebin

    Excellent project ! I am doing something like this with a car ! Can you help me with the building of the radio control transmitter and receiver (based on the nRF24L01+) ?
    I can have 2 way communacation ?
    thank you

    hello,
    how many microfarads capacitor between GND and VCC?
