Troubleshooting: Day 3

Another frustrating day. Everything that can be tested has been tested, yet we're still no closer to finding out why we get dropped packets when the eval board works perfectly (see yesterdays post).

It's looking more and more likely that the receiver will need to be on a proper PCB. We always knew the transmitter would have to be completely fabbed from scratch as the strip board would be unsuitable. To be honest, once the board is printed, its a lot easier to work with a proper PCB - its just getting to that stage is not completely straightforward.

To make things just that a little bit harder, I'm going to be away from the middle of next week for a fair while. Andy doesn't return until after I leave which means virtually all the electronics work will come to a halt, at least for a few days. Hopefully I'll be able to get enough prepared so that he'll be able to continue with the radio fabbing whilst I'm away!
