Hi,
No not really. I did some additional testing, but recently I haven’t had time to work on it.
I might look into to again eventually. It would be fun to solve it 😉

From what I can see it makes no difference if I move the controls or not.
In the serial monitor I get the empty <> for a while, then after a seemingly random amount of time I get a printed message about the radio being available. Then it will continue giving med <> for a while until the same message appears again or I get the Confirmed vehicle ID printout.

My suspicion was that it might be my laptop (wifi/bt) that blocks the signal a bit, but I need the computer to see the printouts.

I will try to connect a DC motor with a motor controller to the default pin on the Arduino and see if that works.

This is way trickier than I would have thought…

Thank you very much, that does appear to work!

Another thing. I have connected both devices to my laptop in order to be able to read what is going on through Serial. It seems to take quite a long time before they connect. I have added a few printouts for when radio is available and when the correct vehicle id has been “confirmed” on the receiver end.
If I start both up at the same time and wait for them to connect it can take more than a minute before they connect, and even then it takes a long time between each time I get a “confirmed vehicle id” which I would assume should be confirmed for each “sent message” between the devices.
Note that I am not really doing anything with them at this point. Not using the controls for anything. But I have tried pushing some buttons and moving the joystick and that does not appear to make a difference.

Any ideas on why this might be?

I have set radio.setPALevel to MAX for the controller.

Thanks again for the quick reply before. Been “banging my head against the wall” all day with this 🙂
