A note to others whom may give this a go....
Although I did get reception after entering the freq correction, I could only get around 10 feet range and was getting around 80% packet reception.
I guess it is from watching too many episodes of "Tool Time" years ago, but I just had to order the high power Moteino.
If I had read the description of the Moteino I ordered properly, I would have picked up on this (the 'important note' part was even highlighted
):
IMPORTANT NOTE: ..... The RFM69Hxx radios (H = high power, 20dBm) require the setHighPower() function call after initialize.
So after adding:
Code: Select all
#define IS_RFM69HW_HCW
radio.setHighPower();
all is well.
The device ran all night transmitting from behind my home theater electronics 30 feet through two walls with 100% packet reception
