My sensorboard MYS 1.0beta

Hard to say. Usually it helps switching power source and/or fiddle with capacitors.

@Heinz
Before lowering default power level on gateway we had much more support from people who were taking out too much power from their Nano Arduino (+PA+LNA) which resulted in failed transmissions. So of two bad things this is the best (for most people).
There is a troubleshooting section on the main site. Problem is most people don't read it before posting. Gladly accept more things to add to that list.

@hek ah ok I see. Well that sounds reasonable to me. That could explain why a repeater node did not work with a nano but with an uno ... Thanx alot

@NewFolk how are you powering your node and gateway?
battery, USB or wallwart?
Try changing powersource and see if it helps.
I have had som problem with nrf24L01+ clones that did not work well on highest powerlevels but worked better on RF_PA_HIGH.

@Mrlynx
I power node on MYS board from iPhone wall and with USB through FTDI both give me the same 3.324 on 3.3 pin.
And GW is powered thought RPI USB - original UNO / clone nano 5v - Adapter Board NRF24L01+ http://www.ebay.com/itm/200960749614?rmvSB=true

I have just tried to move antenna radio to node and simple radio to GW and it`s work.
Bud it bad workaround.

PS will try to change node and GW to RF_PA_HIGH

edit: change to hight and i saw same ok status. Then I change to

#define RF24_PA_LEVEL 	   RF24_PA_LOW

And get 3 successful initialization in a row. So I will test tonight with DHT22.
Thank you

Ordered 5 kits today looking forward to getting started. For the NRF24L01 you don't need a 4.7uf capacitor anymore?

[Mrlynx]

@smokey1300 I will pack them right away.
I have not found that a cap is making any difference on the radio modules I bought.

[smokey1300]

@Mrlynx I was thinking of 3v battery powering at least 2 of the boards. My sensors will be DHT11 and 18B20. Can you suggest any simple ways to conserve power on the circuit? Would it be better to just add a external boosting regulator for instance?

[Mrlynx]

@smokey1300 My best tip is to remove led and regulator off the arduino. Then use 3xAA batteries connected to VCC on MYS.

Anybody wanting 10 kits at a bargain price. I am sellling them at bargain price due to lack of time to play with them.
If you are in Rome I can hand it over directly . If you are at EU maker faire this week end even better see you there.
Otherwise I ship them too

Still got the 10Kits?

You can still buy these kits from my homepage.
