Wireless modules - help with code not working

[Dick Ivers]

Did you try HSEROUT?

Thanks Dick,

Tried that but no luck.

Seems from info from the user forum that they are faulty.

I can see signal applied to module from pic but there's no output, the main module is clocking but the rf output part isn't responding.

Rob,
I will be following your story with great interest. I have a similar project underway. I've purchased two XRF transceivers for breadboard testing. Not fired up yet ... still waiting for 3.3 V regulators from Digikey. My ultimate plan is a long range, one-way link with an ARF on the sending end a SRF receiver ... very much like your project.

Yes, saw your thread on the Ciseco forum. It does sound like your parts are defective .. Will be interested in how it resolves. BTW, I was not able to join the forum ... verification not working.
Regards,
Dick

Dick,

Yes it was interesting to say the least on their forum.

They didn't seem to like it when I gave them test results. What exactly did they want as a post "It doesn't work" perhaps, with no details of tests carried out.

Can't believe he thought that scope results weren't useful.

Trouble is for me, my friend paid for all the parts for this project. So far he's up to $200 ish for everything for the two units. That's not far off a commercially available solution. If I return the modules for a refund, which I don't want to do I prefer a tested pair, then there's still the ancillary parts to account for.

If you need a simple design for a yagi aerial for greater range I have a doc with details of one.

I am intersted in the yagi design. If you can post it I 'd be oblidged.

Regarding the modules of yours, I am not familiar with these, but have tested xbee pro 868 and are more than great.

Also have tested y-lynx.com modules and they are even better but larger in size and price.

Hi Loannis,

I have two docs in Word format which are pages from the internet. (Can't remember where from)

I will try to add them as attachments here. If they don't attach I will post a link to a hosting for a few days downloading.

Hi Rob. Thanks for the files. I found also the corresponding sites too.
