No RFM69 - No error

[gloob]

Hello,

Currently I'm working on a gateway that uses the RFM69HW module with 868MHz.
When I upload a sketch to my WeMos and no RFM is connected, it seems that there is no error in the init function.

0;255;3;0;9;TSF:LRT:OK
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT
0;255;3;0;9;TSF:WUR:MS=0
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT:TSP OK
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT:GW MODE
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:READY:ID=0,PAR=0,DIS=0
0;255;3;0;9;MCO:REG:NOT NEEDED

Shouldn't there be any error that no RFM is connected correctly and could not be initialized?

I tried everything with a minimal sketch:

#define MY_DEBUG
#define MY_BAUD_RATE 9600

//#define MY_RADIO_NRF24
#define MY_RADIO_RFM69

#define MY_GATEWAY_ESP8266

#define MY_ESP8266_SSID "earth"
#define MY_ESP8266_PASSWORD ""

#define MY_PORT 5003

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <MySensors.h>

void setup()
{
}

void presentation()
{
	// Present locally attached sensors here
}


void loop()
{
	// Send locally attached sensors data here
}

When I use a NRF24 module in the sketch I get a correct error:

0;255;3;0;9;TSF:LRT:OK
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT
0;255;3;0;9;TSF:WUR:MS=0
0;255;3;0;9;!TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:FAIL:CNT=1
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:FAIL:PDT```

@gloob This is a known limitation of the current RFM69 driver and has been addressed in the refactored (yet to be released) driver.

Hello,

I have the sam problem when i use te mysensors 2.1.1 i mus remove HW from the sketch.
If i #define RFM 69HW place on the sketch i get the error that the RFM 69HW
MySensors.h:328:2: error: #error No forward link or gateway feature activated. This means nowhere to send messages! Pretty pointless.

Greatz Ton

@tekka Is there a branch somewhere with this refactored driver to test?
Seems there is something acting strange with RFM69 + esp8266

@emc2 I'm working on this PR, but WIP and untested: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/pull/722

Thanks!
Will have a shot at it tonight to try to troubleshoot this.
