I'm trying to connect Arduino Nano and Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. But there is a problem that I really couldn't handle for more than 10 hours. When i try to ping out from Raspberry Pi, it says "Check your wires." But i really tried many options for it. And i couldn't find the true one.

Here is the pins of NRF24L01 : enter image description here

I connect GND to GND, VCC to 3.3V, CE to CE0, CSN to CE1, SCK to SCLK, MOSI to MOSI and MISO to MISO. IRQ cable is free now cause in web sites that i looked for says its free.

And here is the output when i try to ping out.

Here is the code :

Code is not mine. I found it on internet.

As i said, i tried many ways. And i'm really stuck now.
