Hi guys,

I wonder how to set the transmit power of RFM69HW radios as I couldn't find a hint in the documentation.
Also the newly implemented RadioHead framework supports reporting the RSSI of the radio itself. Is there a way to access it? It would be nice to know how far radios be can placed apart before signal strength is too weak.
Also the tx power could be reduced to save some energy on battery powered nodes, if you now how good the incoming signal is.

Thanks
Ted

Hi there,
I've got exactly the same issue. Same log output, same behavior. I checked the nodes eeprom content at address 0 (node id) and it seems not to get updated. It's value is still 255, but controller address and distance have been updated in the eeprom.
I already erased the flash memory, but it's still not working. As radio I use RFM69HW. I took into account it's highpower and added the flag in its constructor:

MyTransportRFM69 radio (RFM69_FREQUENCY, RFM69_NETWORKID, RF69_SPI_CS, RF69_IRQ_PIN, true, RF69_IRQ_NUM);

Using Tangs workaround with a fixed ID gw.begin(NULL, ###) made it run for the first time! Thanks for that @Tang ;)
I really have no clue why it's not working and any hint is appreciated.

Thanks for adding it in version 1.5 :smiley:

Looks like, there's actually no proper unit. They seem to be somewhat relative. But that's nothing of our concern, I think. Just reading the sensors analog value and handing it to the controller would be good enough. How to interpret the values is the controllers job. Having proper symbols in the GUI is another good reason to add it.
What do you think?

When it comes to measuring moisture levels of soil probably other things as well, a dedicated sensor type would be nice. Other types could be used for that purpose, but having a dedicated type seems straight forward to me.
