Forgot to mention, for my RFM12 range test, one node was inside the house and the other
node on the street with me carrying, so inside to outside, rather than direct LOS. What I
did was send an entire packet of 24 bytes or so from the host, and test for correct receipt
at the remote, and then flash an Led. Also, 170 mm whips.
I have a couple of RFM22s, but not tested as yet. I was jury-rigging a lashup a couple of
weeks ago, but one of the pads fell off the pcb from the soldering heat, and the tiny 6-mil
trace snapped off. 6-mil traces, PITN.
Yesterday, I figured out I will stick the RFM22 to an XBee pcb using double-sided tape, and
tack solder to the pads, then jumper the XBee socket pins on my Arduino test pcb over to
the SPI pins, etc. Need some 2mm male headers. Another job in the queue.
