nrf24L01+ nRF24L01+ (RF24) Radioradio with Arduino Micro

I purchased several nRF24L01+ (RF24) Radiosradios to use with my Arduino unoUno and Micro.

Using the GettingStarted sketch and nRF24L01+ connected to my unoUno, I get nice debugging info in my serial monitor. However when I connect the nRF24L01+ to my Micro, upload the sketch and open the serial monitor I get no debugging information. There is no info displayed in the serial monitor.

Also the arduino unoArduino Uno when set to Transmit, does not see the other nRF24L01+. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is my pinout to connect the nRF24L01+ to the microMicro:
