No Reaction from CC1101

Hi there,

I am using a Uno R3 connected to a RF1100SE / CC1101 module.
I connected everything according to various descriptions found and downloaded the receiver sketch to the board. I have no idea why, but the only thing I receive via the serial port is "start", so even the init fails or the CC1101 module does not react at all.
Does anybody have an idea? Thanks!

Does anybody have an idea?

hi I am sitting with the same problem, i added some debugging and found it is stuck at "cc1101.init();" i got stuck yesterday will see if i can solve it today, if you come up with anything please post it.

You probably need to connect GDO0 and GDO2 along side those which u connected. Also make sure you are using a logic level converter, you might have blown ur CC1101.

Hy guys,
I have the same problem, the monitor stops before CC1101.init() and it seems to never get out off the init function...
Some news about this problem ?
Thanx
