by the way, with pin 4 set to HIGH, what are the risks to short the pin with the RN RST button?

I tried using your sketch and adding additional power, but I got the same behaviour: no discovery after several tries in the java utility, even with resetting the RN.
I tried also with a serial tool, at all speeds available: sometimes I get jibberish in return, sometimes nothing. It seems to be still alive but a little bit crazy 😉

Hi,

My mistake, I didn’t sneak enough on GitHub when I looked at the schematics.
I suspected that the soft serial lib could have issues with high bitrate, but I was somehow puzzled on how to achieve an auto-bitrate when reading the Microchip specs o)

I will try using your script tonight + provide extra power, but I’m quite pessimistic: I had no issue talking directly with the RN2483 using the serial tool (+ switch in “RN” position) but I couldn’t get any data out of the RN after this silly FW update attempt. This is why I think this is beyond the buggy java interface. I also tried to reset the RN while the tool was probing the serial port, without success.

I’ll let you know
thanks for your help! 😉
