Most exciting! I have new hope. Thanks both kobuki and safuser!
@kobuki: I will next implement your suggestions (disable setHighPower(), purchase an SDR and learn how it works, and take a few liberties with the station array per the below notes.) The SDR may take me a week to two to obtain. Andreas Spiess has a series on SDR radios. In the mean-time I propose making the following edits to your station array. I'm trying to use STATION 2 on the console and it is the ISS that I am trying to emulate on the ISSRx Moteino.
1. ISSRx.ino changes:
Station stations[3] = {
{ 0, STYPE_TEMP_ONLY, false }, // moved from original position to maintain 0:2 ordinal sequence; false = I don't need it.
{ 1, STYPE_ISS, true }, // 1 here equals 2 on VP2 console
{ 2, STYPE_WLESS_ANEMO, false }, // false = I don't need it.
};
Then, just below in void setup()
radio.setStations(stations, 1); //changed from default of 2 to 1 thinking that 1 = STYPE_ISS from the array above.
// but I know that 1 = numStations from .ccp file. I'm only using one station, right?
2. AnemometerTX.ino changes:
#define TX_ID 1
VP2 Console changes:
STATION 2
To answer your question: Yes, VP2 in my espression means console. These above changes have compiled & uploaded. But something is wrong; I'm getting no data transfers (moteino-moteino, or moteino-VP2_console).
I'll follow-up after I get & learn the SDR side. Does this mean that SDR results could drive changes to some members of the 3X51 FRF_US table? I wish I had a spare ISS_US that I could send you! Well, that and a faraday cage to keep it legal.
