Hello all,

I have a RC Transmitter 2.4GHz (called Taigen T5 - Advanced 2.4GHz aka heng long) and my intention is to use that to command an Arduino UNO + NRF24 board.
The original receiver is broken and not usable any more. My question to you guys is:

Since I don't have the address of the transmitter, nor the channel used, can I use this library to scan somehow for any sender and this way find the communication address/channel of the transmitter?

Hello,
Perhaps, but I think it will be very difficult:

You have several variables to alter:

frequency channel
CRC or no CRC
3, 5 or 5 byte addresses
what the actual address is.
The number of variations of all these things is astronomical, so unless you
have some other information to narrow the search down, good luck :-)

Just knowing the right frequency would help, but many of these 2.4GHz
transmitters are frequency hopping or spread spectrum too.


Cheers.
