I have a pair of the XTEND modules and am trying to set up a link with them. They are connected to the breakout board for them with the zigbee connectors recommended. So far they appear to be very unreliable. I have to re-seat them every time I try to connect to them.
Has anybody else seen this issue? How did you resolve it?
Also, has anybody used them without any issues (ie, is it just me that is having the problem)?
Thanks
Anybody using the XTEND modules?
just startin to use them but my first impression is that the module breakout board is badly designed. It is a one watt transmitter, so at lest they could have made the power tracks a bit thicker and added some decoupling right near the VCC throughole.
For testing, can you put some beefier wire from VCC and GND to your power source and add liek 10uF decoupling close to the power pins, see if that makes a difference
