[Solved] homduino on nano ready but no signal

---

Hello,

I connected an arduino nano with RF receiver to my raspberry with USB. OS = Raspbian

Homduino is uploaded correctly :

avrdude done. Thank you.
make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/home/pi/homeduino’

When I do make monitor, I only see “ready”,there are no signals received.

When I connect the arduino to my pc and I upload a sketch to test the signals (http://arduinobasics.blogspot.be/2014/06/433-mhz-rf-module-with-arduino-tutorial.html) I receive signals.

So upload correct, connections correct…Anyone an idea what the problem can be?

Thx,

Tom

hello tvleminc,

what receiver do you use and from which source are you trying to receive?
weather station, switches etc…
mostly bad or no receiving is a problem due to cheap receivers. ceck this howto for harware tips.
we recommend the 3400RF kit especially the RXB6 receiver. Sender is not the problem.

Thank you very much for the fast response

I’m trying to receive from KAKU senders …but It’s indeed a very cheap receiver.

But how is it possible I can receive with a test sketch ? Is this a specific homeduino problem or?

I wouldn’t call it a problem but a feature
Only guessing but I think that homeduino filters receptions from this receiver due to too much noise that it produces.

You can try to move your sender very close to the receiver and retry. Could be that the range is a problem too.

Indeed, this solves the problem. I’m buying a new receiver…

Thx !

You’re welcome! Pls. Report back if your issue has been solved with the new hardware!

Everything works now with a receiver from RF solutions

Thx !

nice to hear that it’s solved.
thx for your feedback!
