I just connected up a second LGT8F RF-NANO as a receiver, and Phil's sketches are working straight out of the box.
No changes at all to Phil's sketches, other than (as recommended by Phil) setting up the pipeIn[], and pipeOut[] to match each other, and the same random 16 myChannels[] in both the tx and rx sketches. And I had to change the RF24 line to RF24 radio(9, 10); in both the tx and rx sketches, of course.
Then just compile and upload in the ususal way, with EEROM Size set to 1KB.
Have you done the radio calibration on the transmitter, Flynn? You need to short D8 to GND, power up the transmitter RF-NANO and move the transmitter pots over their full range, then remove the short without powering down. That learns the pot travel limits and writes the values to (pseudo) EEPROM.
Not checked the range yet. Not expecting great things without a power amplifier on the transmitter, but the LGT8F RF-NANOs do have the option to move a link and fit an external antenna instead of using the PCB one.
