Need Troubleshooting Suggestions - No RSSI

Hello,

Like others have stated, I’m loving this integration and instructions. This is my first ESP32 project, so maybe I’m missing something obvious.

I purchased a WROOM ESP32 and a “generic” CC1101 Transceiver - but it does appear similar to the one pictured in the wiki.

I’m at the point where I click the button on my RTS remote, but I do not see any signal reception or logs. I’ve checked the wiring a couple of times. Occasionally I get the “Radio Not Configured” message when broadening the spectrum, but often it goes away. I’ve included a few pictures that maybe someone can point out where I’ve went wrong.

Thanks in advance.

You must check the Enable Radio checkbox then press Save Radio.

That was bad timing on my screen grab. I do have that checked. The “Radio not initialized” appears, but if a save a time or two more, it goes away. Still no signal.

Just checking back in - any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Increase your RX bandwidth by 50 at a time to see if you start getting signal. The bandwidth tuning on the CC1101 is tighter than the bandwidth from the remote. Also, please remove your antenna and verify that it is not an RP-SMA. It should have a male pin inside it.

Still no luck. I increased the bandwidth to ~145 then wider and wider. Also, verified that it does have a male pin. My only thought is replacing the CC1101 with a new one.

Given that this is not working, would you recommend purchasing a new CC1101 transceiver?
