Ping Pong with ESP8266 results in !TSM:FPAR:NO REPLY [solved]

[gohan]

On the gateway do you see any message received? Can you post the gateway log when nodes are registering?

[mpp]

@gohan, when using the WemosD1 (without capacitor!) and a static ID, I get the following:

When I do the same for the Pro Mini, there is nothing to see. When I flash a Moteino test sketch it works properly.

[gohan]

@mpp the gateway is getting the message and it replies so you could either have a power issue on gateway or range problem. How far are the gw and node?

[mpp]

@gohan tested with less than a meter up to 10 meters. In fact the Wemos Node now is working as it shows up in mycontroller but the Pro Mini doesn't receive a response from the GW.

[gohan]

Do you have other radio modules to try? If not, if you swap the radios do you see any changes? Are the radio rfm69 right?

[mpp]

@gohan I have several RFM69 radio's and they're all working (with the Moteino sketch) on a Pro Mini.

Here's my config:

#define MY_RADIO_RFM69
#define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RF69_433MHZ
#define MY_IS_RFM69HW
#define MY_RF69_IRQ_PIN 4
#define MY_RF69_IRQ_NUM MY_RF69_IRQ_PIN
#define MY_RF69_SPI_CS 15
#define MY_RFM69_NETWORKID 99
#define MY_NODE_ID 123

[mpp]

Removing some of the config lines seems to have an effect:

So now the node is sending data but there's no ack/Invalid message length.

[gohan]

Are they RFM69HW? What antenna are you using on them?

[mpp]

@gohan they're all HW, yes. I tested with single wire and coil antenna's. Atm I'm testing with authentic Moteino's with single wire. They all result in !TSM:FPAR:FAIL.

Any progress on this front? I got the exact same things as the log you posted; loads of NACK's.
Checked/replaced radios, antennes and caps ..
