No data decoded (even in debug mode) on Mega 2560 #61

Hey, I'm looking to add MQTT-over-Ethernet support for those of us on the AVR platform, as well as adding support for some door and window sensors. However, I've run into a roadblock. Is this fork known to work on the Mega 2560? I can't get my (known good) board to receive anything, even under RFDEBUG=ON. Here is a trace of me opening a window on the board running the proprietary upstream R48:

20;00;Nodo RadioFrequencyLink - RFLink Gateway V1.1 - R48;
20;01;setGPIO=ON;
20;02;RFDEBUG=ON;
20;03;DEBUG;Pulses=34;Pulses(uSec)=420,930,270,510,270,540,300,510,300,510,270,1050,300,990,270,30,270,1530,270,30,240,60,240,60,270,540,240,1050,270,30,300,510,240,6990;

However if I try it on master in this fork, I get nothing:

20;00;RFLink_ESP;VER=5.1;
Message arrived [Serial] 10;rfdebug=on;
20;01;RFDEBUG=ON;

My only changes are BAUD 57600 and the sprintf_P %s => %S substitution as instructed by the preprocessor error.

Confirmed the receiver board is getting power.

EDIT: I just tried the last upstream source available (R33) and I get the same results. I suppose then this becomes a support question, but probably a relevant one for folks hoping to switch from the proprietary version.

Hi,

To be honest, many of us are using ESP8266 et ESP32 which offer natively and a ton of CPU for 2$-5$. Yet we have some ATmega2560 and it works correctly for them. May be the pins are not the same ? did you check Radio.h file for the pinout reference ? Also did you try both Arduino & Master branches?

Thanks for the info. My primary interest is avoiding Wi-Fi for reliability reasons (though to be fair, there's no reason ethernet support can't be added to ESP32 via an external PHY). I don't see an arduino branch in this repo, is it somewhere else? I did double check the pin assignments (and tried a couple alternate pins just to see).

Just for info, I am using my ESP with RFLink without Wifi but with USB connected to my Domoticz box. It is possible.
