RF RX+TX Indication LEDs

#1 Post by Redferne » 19 Nov 2016, 00:32

Hi, is to possible to use any of the Megas IOs for indicating when RFLink firmware is sending receiving over RF?

Also, my RFLink gateway from nodo-shop sometimes gets stuck in a state where alot of incoming RF packets are lost.
Toggling the DTR resets the firmware but packets are still lost, after pulling the USB cable (power cycle) everything is back to normal.

Please advice

No idea if your print is faulty or not.. make sure the arduino is not too close to a Raspberry Pi, big ac power unit or oher equipment that can cause RF noise.

Ok. I will move it away from from the Raspberry and see if the problem returns.

Any thoughts on the LEDs? It is nice to have a red and green LED to quickly glance on the gateway seeing that RF is OK.

BTW, what is the "L" LED on the Mega used for in the firmware? Is it the same as pin13. I sometimes the that the yellow "L" led is lit? RX and TX are blinking when there is serial/usb traffic.

And once more. Do you plan to publish the source on github any time soon. I desperately need to customize my build.
