Working gateway ?

[rvendrame]

@Fabien, regarding the 'st:fail' . How are you powering UNO and Radio? Some very cheap phone chargers may introduce a lot of noise on power that even a big capacitor can not handle...

[Fabien]

So i try with 2 AA battery for powering radio on gateway. Same about 50% of st:fail. Powering arduino from 2A power supply. At oscilliscope, using spectrum analyzer nothing to report on 3.3V and 5V. Pehaps dupont cable ?

How far are the node from the gateway? Any wall or obstacle in between?

[Fabien]

about 2 meters with no obstacle :(

Do you have different radios to try with?

[Fabien]

yes with 5 radios and 1 amplified version !

[tbowmo]

are those 5 radios from the same batch?

have you seen this forum thread

Might be cheap NRF24 clones you've got..

[Fabien]

Ok so where can I buy good nrf ?
Actually all my componment and modules comes from electrodragon without any problem.

[Fabien]

Ok I try now with only few centimeters and PA_LOW on gateway and it doesn't work well....

[Fabien]

Now I just try with another sensebender with radio directly solder on board and it work fine with no st:fail. radio was previously tested on the first board with lot of st:fail. I will chek the first board, perhaps bad solder or problem with adaptater.

I bought the latest batch of NRF modules from itead, together with my sensebender pcb's. It should be genuine NRF chips they use.

ok for my next xenebender batch I will buy NRF together. And now I confirm the problem with bad contact (with my finger it works fine !!!. I will directly solder NRF to sensebernder tomorrow. Strange, my solders seems to be fine and I made it all one mmore time but same problem.
I will let the new sensbender online all the night. I will check tomorow my grafana input !
