Hey, I'm kind of a newbie to the Arduino's and modules in general as well as embedded systems in general. So I'm kind of stuck with a minor problem that I have no idea what the cause is for.
Basically I have connected a RFM12B module (ordered a kit from JeeLabs) and soldered it. After that I connected it to my Arduino UNO board and it should presumably work fine, as I have followed the instructions thoroughly.
However, when I go into the serial monitor (After uploading the RFM12B demo sketch) the only line that is showing is:
[RF12demo.8] A i1 g212 @ 433 MHz
And after I type in anything, it doesn't do anything and remains on that line. Does not even give me an error.
I'm really confused and I would appreciate some help. Did I solder something wrong? Have I skipped some instructions?
Did you test to make sure the board (not JeeLabs board, but the RFM12B board) is receiving the correct power? Also, I would check to make sure there is a connection from the pins on the RFM board to the appropriate pins on the Arduino. This is the datasheet to the board to help with which pins go where:
