[SOLVED] Only TX led is blinking, ERR and RX led are alway on

[gvorster]

I am using v2.0.0 in Arduino ide 1.6.5 and RFM69 radios.
I am running MockMySensors example on the node and have the following defines:

#define MY_LEDS_BLINKING_FEATURE
#define MY_DEFAULT_ERR_LED_PIN 5  
#define MY_DEFAULT_RX_LED_PIN    6  
#define MY_DEFAULT_TX_LED_PIN    7 

#include <MySensors.h>  

In the terminal of the node I see these ok messages:

MY_DEFAULT_ERR_LED_PIN and MY_DEFAULT_RX_LED_PIN are always on and only MY_DEFAULT_TX_LED_PIN is blinking.

Is this normal behaviour?

@gvorster could it be that the leds that are always on are connected inverted wrt the one that's working?
What hardware are you using and how are the leds connected?

I tested a blink sketch on all 3 pins and they are working.
Also when I switch the pins to:

#define MY_DEFAULT_ERR_LED_PIN 6 
#define MY_DEFAULT_RX_LED_PIN    7 
#define MY_DEFAULT_TX_LED_PIN    5

or

#define MY_DEFAULT_ERR_LED_PIN 5  
#define MY_DEFAULT_RX_LED_PIN    7  
#define MY_DEFAULT_TX_LED_PIN    6

still only TX is blinking and other leds are always on.

However I'm using a bare ATMEGA328P in QFP package running on the Arduino Pro Mini 3.3v 8mhz bootloader on a diy pcb board.

I will try it later today on a Nano on breadboard.

How are the leds connected to the arduino? Are the LEDs connected to ground or 5V?

Ah, sorry my bad. That's it. I had it turned around.
Should have rtfm:

"Each LED is connected by its anode (long leg) to +5V. The cathode (short leg) is connected through a resistor to one of the following digital pins of the Arduino:"

Yes that's it I had it turned around.

@gvorster That's why I asked ;-)
Well, good to hear you solved it :+1:
