    use a 4.7uF capacitor, or there about..

    There is no pads for a SMA connector, but you could attach one with a pigtail..

    @tbowmo Thanks for the Information... One stupid question about the SMA conenctor :-) Is it enough to connect only the Antenna Output conenction or must GND also conencted...?

      You can just solder the antenna only on pcb. I use a coil spring type

        just one more question... I have on the Gateway a RFM69HW and a node with a RFM69W module. In the Gateway Sketch is the HW type enabled

        #define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RF69_868MHZ
        #define MY_IS_RFM69HW
        

        But there is no comunication from the node... I use Mysensors 2.1.1.
        Any idea?

          What gateway is that? I'd suggest to try mysensors 2.2 development

            @gohan It at the Moment only a test. So I have one EasyPCB NRF board with FTDI as Gateway and another EasyPCB board with DHT22 Sensor attached as Node. On both is a 4,7uF electrolytic condensator attached Close to the NRF socket. Both boards are at the Moment with RFM69W 868. The sensor node is battey powered.

              Get latest 2.2 library and use new rfm69 driver. Did you remember to close the IRQ contact in the easypcb?

                @gohan Oh Sh* must check this... I've tried it yesterday on both devices the 2.2 Dev. But will Keep ypu informed...
                Don't find the jumperfor the IRQ on the Rev 9 board. can you please post a Picture. Seems that this one is definitly not closed...
                --> Edit... found it in the documentation but still the same.
                Think the next Point to check for me are the antennas... :-(

                  I'd suggest to buy the coil spring antennas for your frequency, they are cheap and compact.

                    in principle there is traffic between node and Gateway..

                      That's either the node not receiving or the gateway having problems when sending

                          @Markus. You have an RF issue. Typically for nrf24l01+ I'd use a different power supply or a different module.

                          Are you sure both modules are set to the same channel and frequency? What antennas are you using?
                          Do you have HW modules?

                            @alexsh1 I use at the Moment RFm69W 868 modules not NRF. Because the RFMs are mounted on the NRF connector on an EasyPCB. I use at the Moment single wire antennas with a lenght of 8,3 cm.

                              @alexsh1 I use at the Moment RFm69W 868 modules not NRF. Because the RFMs are mounted on the NRF connector on an EasyPCB. I use at the Moment single wire antennas with a lenght of 8,3 cm.

                                @alexsh1 should be, becaus ist not defined explicit in the Sketch. By Default in the MYS Lib 2.2 dev is it 868 mhz. And when i try to define the frequency in the Sketch. Like #define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RF69_868MHZ
                                I get the error message. 'RF69_868MHZ' was not declared in this scope

                                    @mfalkvidd you are right... Ist now added in the GW and node Sketch, but still the same Problem.

                                      I think at the end will it be a power problem. It seems that the sensor node powered with 2x AA cells can not handle the Radio on TX/RX. The same on the Gateway site which is also a Easy PBB powered fom the FTDI Connector connected to USB. The question now is how can i fix this power Problems ? Or more, how can i make sure that this is definitly not the reason.
