Example RF69 not working. [FIXED]

Example RF69 not working. [FIXED]

Hi There,

I received my Whisper Nodes today, and very excited to get them going with my project.
I followed all instructions to setup the Arduino IDE, all working fine.

I loaded up RadioHead RF69 Client and Server examples, and pushed them respectively.
But in Serial Monitor, they don't appear to be talking to each other.

I loaded up Talk2 Base and Node examples, Adjusted radio frequency to 433.0.
Just seeing the following in Serial Monitor:

Code: Select all

### Latest Voltage Readings ###
       Battery: 0 millivolts. 0
  Power Supply: 0 millivolts. 0
Fairly certain i'm not doing something wrong, but any help to diagnose the problem would be appreciated.

They seem to be working now, I don't know whats different.

I factory reset them, re uploaded.. and they are talking to each other.

Hi,
I am having trouble getting my new whisper node going; both of my whispers have same issue.
They use RF96 chip for lora and when trying to call Init (Radio Head rf69 library) it fails; that was using the Voltage Example provided in Talk2.
So I when trying to do it with RF95 lib from Radio Head.
Which RF library are you using for your test and which chip do you have on whisper node pcb?
Thanks.

Hello ioag-warner,

We've updated the example to make it easier to switch the Radio between LoRa (RF95) and RF69. The new library version 1.0.2 should be available soon in your Arduino IDE. Otherwise you can also download it from here: https://bitbucket.org/talk2/talk2-library

Regarding the chip marking, yes it's marked as RF96, but that's the standard chip for the HopeRF RFM95 Module. Not sure why the manufacturer uses a chip marking RF96 while the module name is RFM95.

Hopefully using the update library will make things easier. Another option is to use the RadioHead RF95 Library examples, they should work without modification.

Thanks, I will give new arduino library a try.
