Moteino aka… Since “Moteino” is so hard to pronounce, write and remember, here is a list of (funny) names that people have dubbed it over the years: I'm trying to to establish link between two RFM69HW moteinos, one on fifth floor and another on -2 floor underground. h library from LowPowerLab. lowpowerlab. Especially - If it's a HW you need to have the IS_RFM69HW line uncommented. com Moteino R4 with RFM69HW 915MHz (High Power) $26. 4) circuit hookup as follows. I've flashed the 2 nodes with the node and gateway example from the library, changed to 868MHz (my RFM69HW are 868MHz) and uncommented the radio. Problem is that obviously I don't know what is the NETWORKID for example. 3V Arduino Pro Mini, HopeRF69HW, and a Sparkfun BME280. As a default for a RFM69HW it makes much more sense to start with only PA1 enabled, power level 31 and high power settings off. For each of these, I set up a voltage divider: R2 = 3. In my open-air range tests I ran out of space at around 370m with this one. I want to double check the issues before I run into problems.

Using any code (including examples) the moteino works fine but the uno won't send if radio. RFM69 Library. 2K. Result was again good receive level on the RFM69HW side and awful level on the Moteino side (see Pic4). Much more than confirm greg's comment about RFM69W vs RFM69HW, what you ask is beyond me. Sleep();, and when I send I used radio. The Moteino woke up once a second to do 3 things: 1. But they dont sleep as well as my RFM69W do. So far, not having much luck. It is clocked at 8Mhz, has different fuses to run the Brown Out at 1. This includes the Moteino, MoteinoUSB & MoteinoMEGA. You now would need to interface between moteino and pi (which you could do using SPI as well), which brings up all the same questions: How to electrically connect them, what commands to use, buffering, etc. It does not appear to connect NC to anything at all. An Implementation of HopeRF RFM69 RF module, based on Felix RFM69 for Moteino. Which is correct? Hardware Connections Connecting the RFM69HCW to an Arduino. Re: Making a lower power Moteino « Reply #16 on: April 22, 2016, 06:10:19 AM » Btw kind of entertaining: if this is the only problematic component you could still use the module <2. The chips are able to communicate (most of the time), but the best signal I've seen so far is -93 with a distance of about 4 feet. 2) for Base System, I need > 2K SRAM. 3V. @JoeLucid and @WhiteHare, let me thank you again by your support, the mystery is solved. Please see the Moteino Guide for full specs and details. 3 HopeRF RFM69HW datasheet, it says that NC should "Connect to GND. Over the radio, however, I'm having some issues. #define FREQUENCY RF69_915MHZ //Match this with the version of your Moteino! (others: RF69_433MHZ, RF69_868MHZ) #define KEY "thisIsEncryptKey" //has to be same 16 characters/bytes on all nodes, not more not less! If I have to direct wire (which is what I expected) my RFM69HCWs to a Moteino or 3. See full list on github. By Felix Rusu (felix@lowpowerlab. Note: You will need an ftdi board to upload code to the Moteino's. h. I am using Moteino R4 and RFM69 connected to hardware SPI pins. I have one chip connected to a Arduino Pro Mini, and another connected to a Raspberry Pi. I'm trying to get the node and gateway pingpong example working from LowPowerLabs/Felix website. I want the Moteino"1" to send user selected (by momentary switches) special control codes to Moteino"2" instructing to turn on some motor relays. In fact even at -1dBm current consumption is only 16mA - as low as during RX. 3V), and an arduino mini-pro for the reception (please see attachments). Each chip has a 3 inch Hi All, For my project I want to use the PIzeroW as the GW and Controller and multiple GPS sensors.
