Edit: After all my changes still nothing! :( The exact same issue. I think I will give libmaple a try next thanks. But I will definitely do some more in depth debugging to see exactly where it hangs. I tried every SPI clock speed from 1 to 8mhz.

Edit2: I did some debugging and found the exact line it hangs on in the function:

Code: Select all

void RH_RF69::setOpMode(uint8_t mode)
{
    uint8_t opmode = spiRead(RH_RF69_REG_01_OPMODE);
    opmode &= ~RH_RF69_OPMODE_MODE;
    opmode |= (mode & RH_RF69_OPMODE_MODE);
    spiWrite(RH_RF69_REG_01_OPMODE, opmode);

    // Wait for mode to change.
    while (!(spiRead(RH_RF69_REG_27_IRQFLAGS1) & RH_RF69_IRQFLAGS1_MODEREADY))
	;
}
It hangs waiting for the SPI mode to change, on the fixed board it seems to hang forever on the while loop. It is failing on a call to setModeTx. After fixing the wiring it hangs forever in this loop trying to switch to transmit mode.

The fact that it ever thought it was sending successfully was due to some wiring errors causing multiple devices to use pins that share a line, in reality it hangs permanently trying to switch to transmit mode and never successfully sends. Going to give libmaple a try tonight.

for the official core there is one more thing you could try HAL
https://visualgdb.com/tutorials/arm/stm32/spi/
just that i've not tried this myself. stm32 HAL is actually c code rather than c++ codes.
