RF233 weak radio reception #9

Closed alevy closed 7 years ago

alevy commented 7 years ago

There is evidence that the radio signal for the RF233 is pretty weak. This might be due to interference from the RNG's ground plane.

Commit 99e1496 should be sufficient to fix this, but we are awaiting additional testing to confirm that this is the correct solution.

Tests are inconclusive as to how bad this issue is, but the weaker signal strength is still sufficient for development work. Closing for now, may reopen if problem persists on next revision but it should be fixed.
