Unable to receive using ReceiveDemo_Simple from SendDemo
paulgeanta opened this issue · comments
Maybe I did not understand the purpose of the library but I have spent 2 days trying to make this work, and I'm really sorry if the question is just a question and probably not an issue.
At this point I try to send using the SendDemo example and receive using the ReceiveDemo_simple example (I guess there is no need to add the code). I prefer to be able to do this before I try anything else involving real remote controls
I know that the boards are good since I was able to make them communicate using the RadioHat library.
I use 2 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BJNV1J3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086ZL8W1W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
I also tried with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DW9K3Q7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 even though I would guess this is the wrong frequency.
Can you please give me some pointers. Anything would be appreciated (be it just ... those boards are no good) so I stop struggeling.
Thank you,
Paul
Could you post a picture of your setup?
Here they are.
Thank you,
Paul
Seems ok, did you checked with a multimeter that the modules are powered correctly (5V) and that there is connection between the modules data pins and the micro pins?
Not with a multimeter, but using Radiohead library example (ask_transmitter and ask_reciver) I get good results using the exact same pins.
I assume that in this case the voltage should be ok. Or am I wrong?
Thank you,
Paul
Yes it should. Are you using the examples sketch without any modifications ?
The only modification is how I instantiate, in order to change the default pins
RH_ASK driver(2000,2,10); instead of RH_ASK driver;
Thank you,
Paul
I mean the RCSwitch ones?
Oh sorry. I made absolutely no changes to the RCSwitch examples.
Trying with SendDemo and ReceiveDemo_Simple now. I also tried ReceiveDemo_advanced and it did not work either
Thank you,
Paul
It's a bit late but maybe it would help others. You need to modify ReceiveDemo_... example (receiver) to enable transmit on pin 10 - i.e. add
mySwitch.enableTransmit(10); to setup()
Without it pin 10 on receiving module is left in INPUT mode which causes transmitter to generate constant "noise" that prevents communication - or at least this is the issue I had.
Same problem here with RC-switch i do not resive any signal.
I tryed on ESP32 and NANO but no result.
mySwitch.enableTransmit(10); dit not change anything
newremoteswitch libary works but this only works with one protocol
someone any ideas?
