Hello again. :raised_hand_with_fingers_splayed:

I am back with another question.

This time I am trying to receive joystick input over radio. I am able to receive and map the values from the remote. The issue is that with the NRF24 connected the motors wont turn. Even if I replace the velocity variable with a number.

Example.

dxl.setGoalVelocity(DXL_ID,600);

Will only spin if the NRF24 is disconnected from power.

Here is a link to some information.

I have it connected like this.
5V-----------VCC (3.3V to 7V in)
pin D8-----------CE (chip enable in)
SS pin D10----------CSN (chip select in)
SCK pin D13----------SCK (SPI clock in)
MOSI pin D11----------SDI (SPI Data in)
MISO pin D12----------SDO (SPI data out)
IRQ (Interrupt output, not connected)
GND----------GND (ground in)

Is this a serial communication problem? If so, can anyone recommend an arduino that will work? Maybe a mega?

I’m sorry for the late reply on this.
I think it is because of the D8 pin(Chip enable) which is assigned for software serial of the DYNAMIXEL Shield.
Other than that, I don’t see any other pin conflict.
