My replacement Nano boards certainly did arrive last week. Happy to say Tx code uploaded and board inserted into Tx board sockets. I commented out rain, wind and solar data as I do not have sensors for those yet. Pleasingly I am transmitting outside temp & humidity with no issues, and that is with the boards at opposite ends of the house too!
It's the smaller things I am having a little trouble with. The led on the Rx board will not blink. Even testing the pins with my multimeter I am not getting any voltage pulses. I used header pins for that one so was easy to swap leads around.
On the Tx board again the tx led is not blinking, and I am not getting pulses past T1 - so not sure if T1 is damaged.
I am going to use a radiation shield fan, for which to test I made the high temp 23 degrees. With temp reading at 28 I am just not getting voltage on the fan pins or at the led. If I measure voltage across diode 1 I am getting 9v.
So a little ironing out to do here, but not where I was expecting! Overall I'm going well.
