There are a number of options for adding wireless communications to your Arduino projects, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages.
Bluetooth is a popular option for controlling an Arduino project with your phone, tablet, or a nearby computer. WiFi is ideal if you are building an Internet of Things (IoT) device that you want to integrate into your home network. And the popular nRF24L01 modules are ideal for two-way communications between Arduinos.
But if all you need is a simple one-way wireless link between two Arduinos then there is a simple solution that will cost about the same as a nice cup of coffee.
Inexpensive 433 MHz modules can provide low-speed data communications between Arduinos. Aside from being dirt cheap, they are easy to use. They are perfect for getting data from remote sensors or building a simple RF remote control.
In this video, I’ll explain how these modules work and how you can use them to send data between two Arduinos. We will also build a wireless temperature and humidity sensor using these cheap RF modules and a DHT22 sensor.
Here is what is covered in the video.
00:00 - Introduction
01:56 - Communications Regulations
03:55 - 433 MHz Modules
05:16 - Antenna Considerations
06:42 - Amplitude Shift Keying
10:58 - Demo 1 - Sending & Receiving Data
19:37 - Demo 2 - Remote Temperature & Humidity Sensor
Hopefully, this will inspire you to use these modules in your own projects.

**important note** place a 100uF cap between VCC & GND close to the receiver. Any small ripple or noise or small abrupt changes in VCC will be amplified by the RX circuit and will show up as an output transition on the RX pin. This receiver has a lot of gain between VCC and DATA out, and that makes it very sensitive ( very twitchy ) to noise or tiny changes on VCC ) if you run this from the VCC supplied from the Arduino board, then I would still recommend some bypassing right close to the VCC&GND on the receiver board.

@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 Год назад

Have you tried a 0.01uf ceramic cap in this location? This is the typical value I reach for in such cases.

Great video ! It demonstrates the basic setup needed for a remote temperature sensor, which can be used for your central heating systems climate correction curve. You just need to fiddle with the correct choise of components and arduino code, to have the sender use as little current as possible, thus making the battery last for a couple of years.

@captainpugwash4100 5 лет назад

An excellent guide to the 433MHz modules. The trick with adding a 17.3cm wire to the GND really improved the range. Just one thing is slightly misleading and that is the buffer size. You imply that the buffer size should be equal to the message length, whereas it should be equal to or greater than the expected message length. Just a friendly hint, for those who take things literally!! I have to correct my statement a little. Some buffer sizes, longer than the expected string length, will return the correct string, whereas others seem to add spurious characters. If you use this fixed buffer length, I guess there are going to be problems when the length of the floating point temperature goes under 10 degrees C down to zero or below -9.9 degrees C, as the whole string length changes by one character. It may be better to read the raw data string, i.e. 40 bits, and transmit that to the receiver to do the checksum and conversion work! Just MHO.

@TeddyB1957 5 лет назад

I tried one of those rx/tx pairs and could get it to work no matter what I did. So I gave up on the project. That was 4 years ago. This is the first video I've seen that explained how to use the rf modules and by watching your video I FINALLY know what was wrong. I saw the little coiled wire on the transmitter and receiver and assumed those were the antenna. Once you explained that an external antenna is required to get more than a couple of centimeters of range I realized that was my problem. My experiments had the two arduino about a foot apart and when it was not working I thought maybe they are too close so I moved the transmitting arduino across the room but that didn't solve the problem so in total frustration I gave up and moved on. Fours years later and I stumble on your video and watched it and thought wow...I can not believe that is all that was wrong. THANK YOU!!!

@williamkohl8081 4 года назад

The SDR (software Defined Radio) is a great tool for working with the transmitter module. You tune the radio to 433mhz and you can see the signal. It will tell you if you are transmitting . I found a dead transmitter this way. Also you can determine the exact frequency it is transmitting on when the radio is calibrated. Also you can see how your body interferes with the radio.

Once I have tested the system on the uno as you suggest could I substitute a nano for the uno? Thanks for your effort in making these videos, it must involve much work.

@codebeat4192 5 лет назад

Very well explained, the antenna length of 17,3 cm is a great advise. You said something like there is no split function, maybe it is a good idea to stimulate to create one, a function, and put into your toolbox (a library - toolbox.h|toolbox.cpp) so you don't have to invent the wheel next time you need such function. In the arduino community I dicovered people repeat similar steps over and over again, they using libraries of others however don't create libraries themselfs. As result, you will notice large sketch files with just a few changes (copy-paste) and horrible to maintain. People must start/must learn to create functions to split the problem into reusable parts/snippets, especially when project starts small and extend over time (it usually does). Supporting this method of developing a solution will be a great addition to your channel and the very clear explained content. Keep up the good work ;-)

The distance will ALWAYS be less than 4 feet. Of the various transmitter and receiver types I've seen you and others present, which would be best for this. I also need to consider wire shielding from the noise created by the spark generation for the motor. It is my intention to use some type of servo at the throttle and a hand held, remote throttle.

Thanks a million. I have had several of these little sets in my parts box now for several years, never really sat down to figure out exactly how to use them though. My need is for an outdoor thermometer mounted under the hood of my Class A Motor Home. She is an 03 but the makers never saw fit to put that system in the rig. I would like to have the output to an LCD display and combine it with an electronic compass that is also missing in the rig. Since we travel all winter, in the American South West, both devices are almost necessary, as of yet we are depending on our cell phone apps for compasses and have one of those home indoor-outdoor thermometers mounted on the Drivers Side wall but it is back in the dining area next to the booth, so not viewable while traveling, and is not wireless, it has a sensor that goes out one window and I have glued to the exterior wall of the rig. This tutorial should get me running with my system, I have may arduino's available in several types so building the devices should be a breeze, it is just the software that had me stumped this far, you have shown me the way, so thanks again!

For better results try a different and better receiver called RXB6, a little more expensive. The transmitter can be powered with up to 12 Volts. The maximum datarate is about 2000 bits per second. Enough to transmit small messages from temp and humidity sensors like DHT11 or DHT22, or LM35, TMP36 temp only. For even longer range you can try nRF24L01. Range here is about 1km in open air with a good antenna using 2.4GHz. Very good tutorial as usual. Thanks.
