Almost apparently isn't close enough.
Fatten up the traces a bit if you can and repost the pics including the original RF module sets.
Also, you might want to try speeding up the TX rate, maybe a couple more sync bytes ($55), maybe less, who knows.
That's the problem with getting something to work with one thing, and then using another, you gotta redo practically everything.
Ok I posted a picture of the working module, I bit different.
same link
2nd picture, bottom trace is old 'working' receiver output?
If so, do you see that big gap after every transmission? That's the data slicer slowly losing it's mind. After a couple of ms, it starts going nuts, which is why you have to train the rx.
If I had to guess, I would say try using n2400 (or t2400, I don't remember which) instead of what you're using now, on both TX and RX. Then try t2400 on the TX and n2400 on the RX. It (the new TX/RX pair) looks like it's inverted or something.
And again, try bumping up the speed. On the new RX 'scope picture, see how that gap isn't there? That thing loses it's mind fast.
Ok i tried faster speed, and same thing, I changed to t2400 here si the result, it looks good, but the output gives me
tempc: -6396C
tempf: -60 F

It also take like 15 seconds before anything appears on the lcd.
whereas before a few seconds
Then try t2400 on the TX and n2400 on the RX.
output is now:
tempc: +148C
tempf: +99.75 F
and it does not seem to be moving from that
i did all the test with all three set of TX and RX modules, same results with each
these modules has to be working, the only difference is the white space is a bit smaller.. unless it means the chip is useless. Should i order other fron Rentron ?
