I just connected an AM receiver to receive a byte from the transmitter. I'm using an ABACOM, http://www.abacom-tech.com/about.htm, AM-RRS3-418 and a AM-RT5-418. My summer project is a weather station connected indoors using RF. Initially I will do temperature with an indoor LCD. Wow, this "stuff" is exciting!! Nick Reitter, 3rd.

Also check out: Linx at http://www.linxtechnologies.com/ you can get it at Digikey...they have a litttle monolithic device at 415MHz. Also, for more range try www.maxstream.net. I started a company that reads utility meters wirelessly over the internet back in 1994; used the maxstream stuff with good success. We had a complete wireless network using 68hc811's and PIC's as supervisors. Our end points at the meters were rated at for 10 year bat life; one of the devices used a CMOS imager to grab meter faces. You can check out the patent on the USPTO website... My firmware guys had about 30,000 lines of assembly code across the cell concentrators and the endpoints. Full remote updating of run code and intelligent endpoint auto aquisition/negotiation. Used a CDPD/cell modem on the cell concentrator to upload the results to the net... |
