guess i was wrong.. how do i enable debugging

Kilo95

i reuploaded the gateway sketch. I was using the same power source for both of the Motes in question. i think it has a bad power switch. will update the next day or so

Kilo95

It appears that it was the power switch on my battery holder. Must have been intermittently cutting out. Both nodes ran fine all night. I would say this is [solved]. Thanks

Felix

Awesome, thanks for the update... those pesky supplies, who would have thought!

Kilo95

Exactly. It's a 3xAA battery holder with a switch. I just happened to move it just right and saw the light on the Mote flicker so I wiggled it and that's how I found it. Chinese junk battery holder...

Felix

Love cheap china huh... just to reflect how much it really cost in terms of wasted time to find a simple problem hiding in plain sight. And its just a switch, nothing complicated!

Kilo95

Yeah. No kidding. I went with a battery holder without the switch this time. After all I can just unplug the JST connector
