Looking for some thoughts on where I should go from here.

TX v3.13 Rev B board and RX v 2.00 Rev A both fully assembled and alive.

RX unit is not receiving any data. Boots up and initialises as it should, connects to WiFi and syncs NTP clock etc. I do note that the COM Led is apparently continuously lit. Looking at serial output using the debugging modes, nothing is ever reported beyond "WiFi connection is ON". RX LED never lights. Internal temperature, humidity and barometric pressure are being read from the BME280 with no problems.

The TX board is hooked up to an SHT21 and Davis anemometer + rain collector. Using the debug routines for the TX board I see sane values reported from all the attached instruments. TX LED flashes regularly.

Both TX and RX are set with Station_ID 0xA1, and the TX board has station ID 0. Basically everything other than my specific WiFi and location configurations are at default values or appropriate for the instruments I have used.

As I type, both TX and RX are in the same room with me, with antennae attached.

I am trying to pin down if this is a failure of transmission, reception, or neither. Physically I can see no issues with solder joints on either of the boards. I have reloaded the relevant sketches several times. I have measured voltage across VCC to GND on the TX board module and see 9V. Similarly, for the receiving module on the RX board I see 5V supplied.

I am wondering if I should pull out the 433 Mhz modules and replace one or both, but before going to that length I wanted to see if anyone has suggestions on where to go next.

Hi craigruaux,

Everything is right in both Config_Options.h files.
As you suggested, I also agree that the problem most probably is caused by a faulty TX or RX module. Without additional equipment (like an SDR pen) isn't easy to know which one is. The easier way is to replace both the TX and RX modules.
Have you checked if both TX and RX modules are 433Mhz versions? I know that it sounds stupid but sometimes happen that we order from sellers which sell 315MHz and 433Mhz versions and we or the seller swap the version.
Can you post some pictures of both modules?

I'm comfortable that they are both 433 Mhz modules, by virtue of the fact that they both have 433 printed on their resonators.  Getting them off is going to be a bit of a chore, I'm now regretting that they are not in sockets .

I have a spare receiver module, I might put together a simple receiver to see if I can hear anything. If I a correct the data is in a 20 character string, right?

I also have one of the wireless display units, and I know they can receive via RF. Would they, in default configuration, receive from a TX unit in basically default configuration? Or do they rely on the relay transmission from the RX unit?  I have tried with the wireless display, but have not seen anything from it.

You had an excellent idea in trying to use your wireless display which you know is receiving RF data.
Indeed the Wireless Display unit only decodes data packets which are sent from the RX unit, but it also receive data packets sent from the TX units, this means it can be used for testing your transmitter. You just need to do three simple things:

1- Enable the PRINT_DEBUG_RX_MESSAGES in Config_Options.h
2- Set unit to work in RF mode

Code:

(#define RX_MODE 0             // 0= Receive data by RF, 1= Receive by WiFi)

3- Supposing you are using latest WeatherDuino Weather Display software (ESP8266_WD_v5.1-b003), go to line 56 and comment that line. Compile and upload.

Open the Serial Monitor and check if there is any output.
If nothing comes in in a minute or two, you will get a RED screen.

Getting them off is going to be a bit of a chore, I'm now regretting that they are not in sockets

If you have to remove any of the modules, and don't have a de-soldering gun at hand, I suggest cutting the module pins one by one as near the module as possible, and then weld the new module to the cutted pins. Isn't a beautiful way, but you don't risk to destroy the board.

Hi Werk,

Can you just confirm, you want line 56 of the RX routines commented:
 

Code:

  if (TX_Relay_ID != Relay_ID || PacketID < 127) return;

It makes sense, vs the other line 56's in the code in other tabs. Hard to see how commenting out the library for the BME280 would help 

[craigruaux]

I'm making some progress here.
The wireless display board is not showing actual values, but the green circle in upper left is flashing in synchronicity with the TX led from the TX board, and I am seeing values like this output on serial monitor:
 

Code:

10:01:50.928 -> 10:01:50 - Station ID: A1 PacketID: 3 Full Message: A10003 C8 0 0 0

So I'm guessing it is the RX module on the receiver that is the issue.

Yes, is that line. Sorry for having forgot to mention line 56 in RX tab.

So I'm guessing it is the RX module on the receiver that is the issue.

Indeed the TX unit is sending data. At least, you should had saw messages with PacketID 0, PacketID 2 and PacketID 3.

Based on this, I also guess that the issue may be the receiver module. Fortunately you said that have a spare RX module.
Before replacing the module, you may also check if there is continuity between the two points marked on the image with an arrow.

Success!! 

Replaced the original 433 MHz receiver module with my spare (in a socket this time ), and everything boots up and data is received correctly.

Yay!


Now I just need to make an aspirated shield, mount it all on the roof, make boxes for the receivers. Too easy
