!TSM:RADIO:FAIL - Newby with Mini NRF24L01 + Mini Pro

wuschel

Hello
The components used first:

Adapter - https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/CtW4Xaow
Mini NRF24L01+ SMD 1.27MM,
3,3V Arduino Pro mini

My Problem:
The serial Gateway works fine.
0;255;3;0;9;Starting gateway (RNNGA-, 2.0.0)
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT
0;255;3;0;9;TSM:RADIO:OK

0;255;3;0;9;TSP:SANCHK:OK
0;255;3;0;9;TSP:SANCHK:OK

The sensor gives me only a error, no matter what I use. CO2 Sketch or Soil Moisture everything gives me this error:
Starting sensor (RNNNA-, 2.0.0)
TSM:INIT
!TSM:RADIO:FAIL
!TSM:FAILURE
TSM:PDT

I have built 3 Sensors everything the same.

I can take pictures from the sensors if it helps!

can someone help me ?

Thx wuschel

@wuschel - !TSM:RADIO:FAIL means the radio isnt working.
Either its not powered correctly, not wired correctly or broken.

wuschel

I think the wireing is not right.
But is habe the Problem i dont understand the Intsruction for sensors.
The Gateway was not the problem .... the instruction was perfekt....

i have no idea how check the error, is it the powerd is it the wired, is the radio damaged ?

gohan

@wuschel

Try swapping radio from gateway to sensor and see if problem follows the radio or not.

wuschel

@gohan thx but in the gateway i used nrf with NRF24L01 PA LNA the sensors Mini NRF24L01+ SMD 1.27MM i have x25 NRF SMD the switch/swipe is not a option the SMD have to be work ... i hope u know what u mean

gohan

Ok i got that, I meant to swap the radios just to check is the problem was the radio or not, because if the gateway is working it mean the wiring in that one is correct so you know the radio module has to work and if not then it is the module that has problem. After the test you put the NRF24L01 PA LNA back to the gateway

wuschel

ok i have 2 from the PA i will try this.
i will post the result today or tomorrow.

THX

wuschel

i have orderd new nrf without the adapter and that looks great

have everyone tested the OSH adapter ? and what must be changed to use ist in the code.
the pins are diffrent

gohan

There are too mail failures, there is probably something wrong in the code

wuschel

@gohan the code is from the mysensros libery, the error is always after 4 cycles.

is that a problem ?

gohan

This is how it should look like when it can establish a connection to gateway

When you have 4 repeats it mean there is a problem and it can not find the gateway

wuschel

Ok, i understand.
but how can i fix that?

gohan

When I had that problem I replaced the radio modules with different ones and it started to work. Did you put capacitor on the radio module?

wuschel

I have capacitor on the gateway on sensor not.

i will try tomorrow, have a long way ahead of me

gohan

Capacitor is pretty much mandatory. Start from 4.7 uF and increase up to 100 and see if you see any changes

jogant

Another thing is that sensor and gateway need a minimum distance. I had gateway and sensor on my desktop for testing and had problems. So I put away the gateway 2 meters and problems are gone. Just a try.

wuschel

@gohan on sensor too ? or only gateway ?

gohan

Capacitor needs to go as close as possible to the vcc/gnd pins of the radio module as possible on both of them.
