These units are sitting 10 ft apart and the one attached to the rover (+) will lose all signal strength and go dark; except for the red light, and then come back at full strength a minute? later. The base units just seems to keep transmitting.
I had the 0.1 watt units before and they worked great. Just really no distance (suburban). I also moved the transmit antenna [attachment=0]IMG_20231208_143914048_MP.jpg[/attachment]higher.
Run through the defaults here https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_LoRa … ick_start/ (there’s also a guide to the LEDs on the left)
How is the rover’s radio being powered?
Radio is being powered via the data link. Did a factory reset on both the base unit (rtk express) and the rover which is a express + just to insure something hadn’t happened. I looked at the led link, and the radio will drop out (all green aka yellow thru the case) go off, nothing but the power light. The blue receive is not constant in its flashing. Express + is on 3.8, base I believe is on 3.6.
BTW, I do have a data log showing that when PACC3d goes from 0.014 (oe around there) to 2.0 etc that the data from the relposition msg goes to zero. Thats when I also witness the radio dropout (but still powered). I can sen if you want.
Share a video or two if you can
The antenna is 15 ft above me and about 8 - 10 ft to the left. The express that is working as the base unit is on 3.8, the plus is on 3.8. https://photos.app.goo.gl/93sssTkPw9D3NViV7
Here is a screenshot of the u-center chart view. Top id relposn, bottom is pacc3d. The video captures the last event happening. Data file is available.
Any ideas as to what going on with this after seeing the video and data plot?TS-Russell:

The only thing I can think of is a battery issue…try disassembling the units (should be 2 screws) and swap the batteries - does the the problem follow the battery or board?
Good idea, do you think I can accomplish the same thing with an external pack?
OK, so I plugged wall power supplies into everything and the antenna power stabilized. I got rid of the resets / restarts by increasing the port transmission rate; frankly way above spec. but the transmission became a steady heart beat. But the data problem of pacc3d droping in and out, and relpos data going to zero still exists. Switched to my hollybro lora packet radios, and no problems with the data. Plugged in the 1 watt LORa’s, data is good for shit.
According to the ucenter packet console, this is what is being transmitted.

I submitted an issue to the github firmware repo.
Thanks. added my voice and my experiences on the repo.
