Change which pins transceivers are connected to

#1 Post by darkside0506 » 23 Apr 2017, 18:19

Sorry if this has been already answered anywhere - I searched the boards and couldn't find it.

Is there any way to change which pins are connected to the various transceivers? I am building a board with 1 cc2500, 2 nrf24's, a 433mhz module, and connected to network via an ESP8266. To fit this nicely on my stripboard shield it would useful if I could change which connections I am using on the Mega.

For example, the CC2500 is connect to 47, 50, 51, & 52 but it would be easier for me to make the shield if I could connect to 46,48,50, & 52.

I've tried having a look at the development branch on Github which has some code that I could look at on Arduino IDE, it which I can vaguely interpret but as I am very much an amateur I have hit a brick wall...

Any help greatly appreciated

You can not change the pins to just any value.
50, 51 and 52 are SPI pins and have to be connected like they currently are.

Cool, thanks for the quick response.

Kudos for RFLink - I think it is amazing and it got me messing about with a soldering iron after 20 yrs. Great stuff.
