Drop outs

Hi All....
Just getting to grips with the HAHNode stuff..... I've got it to a stage where I can see the temp and light endpoints (from the jeenodeApplet.lua) with good data (and lots of spurious stuff) in the Serial view.....however, after about 15-20 mins the good data stops (but the ? spurious stuff continues on the Serial line)....
If I power off the remote node, then power it on again I immediately get good data - but again only for 15-20 mins..... if I try the power cycle again I get no good data at all. I then have to re-boot the Hub and all starts from the top again....
Do you think I've missed something, or is it a hardware thing?
Hope you can help....

There is a setting that will
There is a setting that will HOLD the value for you its called the "ttl" setting and it can be configured on a per node basis.

I generally have mine set with ttl=900 which allows a couple of missed values before it drops back to a '?' value.
RF is a strange beast indeed.

Each applet is a running
Each applet is a running inside the plugboard and there is no way to restart them individually. If you are debugging one of them you can wrap it up as a standalone application for testing purposes thou.

Flakey HAHNode! After many hours of faffing about, I've discovered that the node will only work fairly consistently in a vertical position!!! Might just be the serial/USB connector so i'm going to rig up a battery pack and power it that way - I'll let you know how I get on.....
The node still drops out after about 15 mins but seems to pull itself back together after 4 mins and survives for another cycle of working then drop-out and repeat! No biggie - I can hold the values from the last OK transmission and use them till I get another OK set of figures.... its just that I'd thought that the H/W would've been more consistent! Not complaining - just an observation!
