RepeaterNanoEbyte

Principles

• Build a MySensors repeater with the material in stock, to test if it would solve the problems with the sensors in the top of the house, which are often not communicating.

Used Components

• NRF24L01P-Module-E01ML01DP5
• AdapterBoardForNRF24L01
• ArduinoNano5V

Wiring

MISO = M1, MOSI = M0

Programming

• Use Platformio, see platformio.ini file.
• Board: Arduino Nano
• Processor: ATmega328P (5V, 16MHz)
• Serial monitor: 19200 Baud
