Hi, I’ve just received my new toys Base and a TXShield. Base is working fine, can log in, connect to wifi etc. However, its not seeing the shield at all. I’m fairly new to the Pi/Arduino scene but I’m techie and work with some guys that are more knowledgeable than me.
I’m at a bit of a loss to know where to start troubleshooting. There’s no lights on the 433mhz board on the Base. On the TXShield, there’s lights on the Uno, which I’m told is good, and there’s a light on the shield itself that flashes in time with the RX LED on the Uno ( RX light flashes 4 times and on the 4th flash the LED on the shield flashes once ).
The two modules are sitting on my desk so range shouldn’t be a problem.
I’m assuming you uploaded the emonTx shield firmware to the Uno. Did you select the correct radio (RF12B / RFM69CW and correct freq (default 433mhz) and network group (210)? Could you post serial output from the Uno with shield connected .
