radio.available() not working? about rf24 HOT 3 CLOSED

Well, there is some issue on the wiki about troubleshooting hardware issues.
https://github.com/TMRh20/RF24/wiki/GettingStarted-sketch-failing-to-send:-how-to-diagnose%3F

Beyond that I don't have much to go on besides pointing towards the debug option in RF24_config.h.

This is a good reference for the type of info that is needed to address potential software issues: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/How_to_ask_a_software_question

from rf24.

Actually I troubleshooted a bit the environment, since it was working until
I updated the library. I knew the hardware was working, and it is right now
because I kept a copy of the old libraries and software and when I use them
everything works fine.

When I switch to the new libs, the raspberry it's only capable of send, not
to receive (or at least I'm at this point right now). I'll send you more
information.
Thanks for the debug flag.

Sorry for confusion, you've been very kind, late night hacking...

*My goal *is to make raspberry and arduino communicate again (sort of
messaging with ack) with NRF24l01+ modules, after a library update.
Everything was working before the libs (RF24, librf23-bcm) update.

My problem, is that raspberry is sending message, arduino receive it,
then send back the ack package, but raspberry is not listening (or it's not
availlable to listen).

Troubleshooting I've made: I've tried slightly modifying the ping/pong
ack code with no luck.
I know the arduino is working because with old library (librf24 without
bcm), old ping/pong c++ code (only millis() and library ref change) on the
raspy, everything it's fully working.

I'll try to insert some capacitors, if you think this could help.
Is there any reason why the raspy should not be able to listen anymore?
I've seen recently you changed available() function.
Maybe some timeout on available() is not fine with my lack of capacitors?
I'll try to revert to the commit before that change and see what happens.

If you have any further suggestion (like which commit to revert for
tracking back the problem) please do not hesitate to write me.

Thanks again for your time and your work.
