MRF90XAM9A interfacing help

[Tabsoft]

Sorry I've been busy on other items.
Have you made any further headway or are you still stuck?

Thanks for asking, I haven't done any more on it. I don't have a spectrum analyzer to see if its transmitting, so its really frustrating.
It looks like it should work, but it doesn't so I am still missing something basic I feel.
I appreciate your help, but, I am stuck and like you, I have things I should be doing besides this 'fun' item.

these rfm69 chips are easy to use and have loads of working examples to draw information from and are really cheap too

I started out with the rfm12b modules and now have developed code that can successfully network the rfm69's with the old rfm12b's . I had similar issues to you trying to get the rfm69's up an running , not having the right gear to see what is really happening makes life difficult . in my case the known working rfm12b net allowed me to get pkt reception code working first after that the tx side just fell into place.

Richard, Thanks for the link. My only desire (if I stick with it) to use the MC modules, is I think it would be interesting to build my own PAN using the Zigbee stuff.
HOWEVER, as I have not demonstrated that I am smart enough to figure it out, another module may be in need.
Do they make these with an integrated antenna?

[Tabsoft]

Just curious.

Did you ever get these modules working for your project?

[ecoli-557]

No I did not. I had used up so much time on this 'friendly' project I wasn't getting any of my fun projects moved forward.
I have shelved it for the time.
Are you trying to do the same thing?
If you succeed, please share what you found out. I think my problem is in the interrupt settings - I think its transmitting, and receiving, just not getting out?!?

Tabsoft-
Did you get anywhere ?
