using nrf24l01 for 2 way communication

[R.Naresh]

currently im running a arduino pro mini 5v 16mhz + nrf24l01 + pa + antenna as transmitter
and arduino pro mini + nrf24l01 pcb antenna one as reciver also have a oled on the rx

code:
rx

/* Test code for the Radio control transmitter
 *  Install the NRF24 library to your IDE
 * Upload this code to the Arduino UNO
 * Connect a NRF24 module to it:
 
    Module // Arduino UNO
   
    GND    ->   GND
    Vcc    ->   3.3V
    CE     ->   D9
    CSN    ->   D10
    CLK    ->   D13
    MOSI   ->   D11
    MISO   ->   D12

This code should print the received values to the serial monitor

The above code is based of the code of electronoobs and the blink without delays sketch parts was included and the led blinks with out messing the transmitter stuff


i need help to get pps readings on the reiever to test weather it is sufficient for controlling a quadcopter its intention
 and also to send 3 - 4 voltage readings form RX > TX ( 3s - 4s lipo is planned to be used)


anyone who has do this kinda stuff before please help
