In the past, I also have had the TX module become intermittent and ultimately fail. It would not transmit for long periods of time, producing graphs similar to the one on the first page. Then it simply stopped working. I attempted to resolder individual components on transmitter module in hope to revive it, but without success.
Replacing it was my only option and needed to wait for shipping. Now I hold one TX module in reserve in case it happens again. When I build my second WeatherDuino TX Board up in the coming weeks, I will make it more modular, so I can easily plug in and unplug the TX module for replacement. This will save having to unsolder the module off the WeatherDuino TX board and make for quicker repair.
In the past I have also had reception problems and I have narrowed it down to when I place the RX unit on my desk, next to my computer monitor or on my cabinet next to my TV. When these monitors are on and working, my data I get becomes very unreliable. I can watch the receiver's receiving LED flash away as it should but as soon as a monitor is turned on, it will flash very irregular. The data stream shows this too on the computer. Solution, I have to have my RX unit half a metre away from my monitors.
