RF Link Transceiver

Wireless & IoT

Hi there,

I have been playing around with the simple RF-link transmitter and receiver (see link below). I am looking for the next best transceivers. I want a simple, cheap, module wherein the transmitter and receiver are in one package and they are good to work with microcontrollers. Thanks

transceiver. One of manu using IEEE 802.15.4 (sans ZigBee)

simple cheap.

Maxstream XBee with the wireless serial port firmware.

Connect XBee’s serial port to microprocessor (AVR, etc) serial port at 3.3V levels.

Connect another XBee to PC or whatever.

Setup using simple instructions from Digi.

Alternative: Super cheap transmitter and/or receiver using AM or On-off-keying. Lots of complications in developing protocol. For one-of projects, best to spend $20 and get plug and play.

Depends on how much control you want of the hardware. I’d suggest using the Nordic nRF24 series stuff, though also have expierience using the CC2420/CC2520.
