EmonGLCD HomeEnergyMonitor not working, but Test program OK

Hello,

I have a v1.5 EmonGLCD just soldered.

Your guide was pretty good, thank you.

The test show the values from thermo and light.

But if i load the HomeEnergyMonitor, nothing is displayed.

If i comment this line from the program :

rf12_initialize(MYNODE, freq,group);

Then the LCD is displaying 0W, max temperature etc...

Can it be a problem with the RFM module ?

Here's an attachment with a solder face with the RF12 module.

Thank you for your help.

The first thing to check is the soldering around the RFM12B module. There appears to be a whisker of solder I've marked (red arrow), and some of the other joints look as if they might be suspect.

All the joints should look like the one I've marked with the green arrow.

As usual, you are right...

Despite my continuity checks, the red arrow pointed out the real problem.

Sorry for this beginner mistake.

Everything seems to work good now.

Have a nice day.
