Hi all,
we have obtained new UHF modules from Hoperf company.
Photos of a new receiver and transmitter.
First impression is that modules are much better than those that we have been using so far and have been obtained elsewhere on the Ebay. I am sure that you've seen the image of the receiver like this:
Well, new modules have much better range thanks to the RF83 chip used on that module. The chip itself includes modern UHF receiver and therefore much better reception & range. Read more if interested...
I have made a nice test module where I test Bascom program both for Rx and Tx module - see the photo below:
Of course we need two such modules if we want to test both Rx & Tx, but if you already have any ASK Rx or Tx that you have been using/programming with an AVR, then you'd need only one module. Module connects to the MiniPin or MegaPin dev. board with a 10-pin flat cable. Program is quite simple, it is published in the Download section here: http://www.svet-el.si/english/index.php/download/22-projects?start=20
The best of these modules is that they are very cheap - see prices here (click):
These modules will make many interesting & cheap applications!
Best regards
Jurij
