How to troubleshoot RFlink 433?

#1 Post by Mike99 » 22 Sep 2020, 11:12

I’ve built the RFLink 433 from Nodoshop and flashed the arduino to the latest RFlink firmware but the debug screen on RFLink loader isn’t showing any received data when I click a test switch. I’ve triple checked solder joints and used a microscope to check for shorts and everything seems ok.

The debug screen is showing the following :

20;00;Nodo RadioFrequencyLink - RFLink Gateway V1.1 - R48;
20;01;NodoNRF=ON;
20;02;MySensors=OFF;NO NRF24L01;
20;03;setGPIO=ON;
10;version;
20;04;VER=1.1;REV=48;BUILD=04;
10;status;
20;05;STATUS;setRF433=ON;setNodoNRF=ON;setMilight=OFF;setLivingColors=OFF;setAnsluta=OFF;setGPIO=ON;setBLE=OFF;setMysensors=OFF;

I’m at a loss as to what to do next.

Debugging is turned on - I thought that would be shown in the output I posted but it isn’t.

Then either you have an issue with the hardware or the sending device is not sending anything that RFlink can recognize.
What is your sending device?

Three device types I’ve tested so far, two PIR motion detectors, one generic light switch and the Sonoff remote controller seen here : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Controller-Con ... 07SPZ3H8N/

All devices work with the Sonoff rf bridge that I’m trying to replace.

In an effort to try to get this sorted and out of my head I’ve ordered another rf433 kit from nodo with the solder service even though I’m 99% sure the soldering is fine on the first device.

For some reason this has now started working. Is there an incredibly long start up for this because I accidentally left it running for a couple of hours and just noticed data was coming in.

No, there is no startup delay.
