5 years ago Hello, I do not understand the problem completely. my English is not the best. First to your first question: The Spi setup of the Elechhouse cc1101 lib has been adapted to work with arduino and esp. the only problem I know, which will be fixed in future updates, is that the esp module does not receive any messages from the serial monitor and also not from the rx pin of the esp's when spi was initialized.
They said they used an arduino to address the cc1101 via spi. and the gdo pins to receive / send to have an esp connected and that it worked better than if you control the cc1101 module on esp with spi. it may be possible that it works better. I dont know.
I use esp wemos d1 mini for rc-switch and have no problem. So I receive the same as when I use the cc1101 module on arduino. so it would be good to know which sketch you use to receive with the esp !?
for your second question: I personally have found that the pins of the esp's are more sensitive than those of the arduino's.
in general, it is a lib that is in the process of development and is constantly being improved. I also use it for raw data that you can receive via RF (but with an arduino).
So to understand the problem! Which sketch do you use?
I will test it then!

Hello,
I set up this cc1101 module
https://www.wantitall.co.za/electronics/solu-cc1101-wireless-transceiver-module-with-spring-antenna-for-arduino-wireless-rf-transceiver-315-__b00xdl9e64
And found two curious things:
First: My setup with an Arduino UNO (SPI level 5V, module survives) with the simple receive example worked out of the box. I received a lot of signals from my different transmitters (24bit, 32bit).
I further on did the same with an Wemos D1 mini (clone, SPI level 3.3V). Setup was like in the example image. The module only received a few 32bit signals. Also the decoded numbers didn't belong to one of my transmitters and I havn't seen them in the first Arduino test (so no signals from the neighbors).
To test the program I replaced the CC1101 on the Wemos by a standard cheap RF433 receiver. It worked. So the Wemos is capable to receive signals. Then I added this line to the setup of the program:
SPI.setHwCs(true);and did the flashing in DIO mode. Now I received 24bit and 32bit messages. But not as much messages as with the Arduino system.
Then I mixed up the systems. Connecting the SPI of the CC1101 module to the Arduino and the signal out to the Wemos. Now the Wemos receives all messages and the same amount of them - like the pure Arduino system.
Now my question? Is there a difference in the initialization of the module between ESP and Arduino boards. I personally haven't found differences in the lib code.
Second My seconds observation is curious, too. In my setup I have two types of transmitter modules. Both are working with the standard receivers.
The setup is 10 of the more expensive type:

and 3 of the cheap ones:

In the working pure Wemos setup the signals of the cheap modules were not received. In the Arduino setup signals from every module were received.
Question: Are there differences in the signal recognition depending on the used MCU?
