Hi there,
I am new to sparkfun products. I’ve got 2 sets of RFM22 and Arduino boards and tried running them as a pair, one is the server and the other is the client. I used the example codes provided, and two sets run on two computers, about 2 feet apart. First, the two talk to each other, which is good. But it seems the communication is very unreliable. I changed the “Hello World!” to a counter value (counting from 0 to 9 in a loop) to measure the reliability of the communication. The server gets about 7 numbers out of 10 numbers sent from the client, in turn, the client gets only 2-3 numbers back from the original 10 numbers it sent out. It seems the failure rate is as high as 30% loss in each way. Is there something wrong or this is the failure rate I should expect? I tried extending the delay in each transmission, it did not help.
