Hi All,
Decided to try the RFM69W and HW boards to possibly replace the NRF24l01+ boards I am using now. Am also using 433 transmitters here and there to control local machines or sockets. SYstem runs well, but was wondering the RFM69's would do and if I could drop form two comm chips to one.
Built a board for the RFM69W using the LD1117v33 regulator powered from the UNO 5V port. Used 4.7K and 10K resistors for shifting of the UNO to RFM69 lines that need it and hooked it up to the UNO.
Once the level shifters were in place, the radio.initialize call completed and then entered the send loop. Here it becomes a little weird and can't find a reason as yet.
Here is the output of the Serial Monitor:
TNode 1.0 startup at 433Mhz...
Before Send
TNode 1.0 startup at 433Mhz...
Before Send
TNode 1.0 startup at 433Mhz...
Before Send
It appears to try and send and then back into the setup code.
Anyone see anything like this before?
I spent a couple of days playing with over the weekend and honestly, this boards are a pain to work with between the smaller pins and the amount of work it takes to hook them into anything.
Pinout:
UNO
RFM NC GND
RFM NSS D10 (Shifted)
RFM MOSI D11 (Shifted)
RFM MISO D12
RFM SCK D13 (Shifted)
RFM GND GND
RFM ANT 17 cm Wire
RFM GND GND
RFM DIO0 D2
