Another issue with “Heltec” Lora32 board:
I’m currently running two boards in 24/7 test. Both pcb’s look fully identical from outside view. Both were purchased from same seller on Amazon in one delivery and came in packaging labeled DIYnik.
Both boards connect to my MatchX TTN gateway, which is ~30m away outdoor. Both boards run identical test code, using LMiC 1.5 arduino-2 with OTAA and SF7.
On the gateway logs one board shows up with RSSI values -60…-70, which is, i think, an expectable level.
The other board shows up with RRSI values -90 … -110, which is surely too weak for the short distance.
I checked both antennas and pigtail cables with a multimeter, no shortage.
Any ideas, what may going wrong here?
How could i figure out the root cause? What to measure?
