Hello Sparkfun Forum,
A device to drop a parachute from a kite has been developed successfully. It uses a 433mhz transceiver to
signal a miniature Arduino device, a Beetle DFRobot to operate a servo.
The transceiver is by Rodot.

The Rodot transceiver range is about 60 meters when up in the air. A range of at least 100 meters is sought.
A transceiver by BSWW was installed and does not work reliably.
This a YouTube video of a demo of the Rodot transceiver.

This a schematic of the operating transceiver to servo.

The BSWW transceiver does not work so transceiver with a longer range is sought.
Have found devices like
RFM69HCW Wireless Transceiver - 915MHz
In stock COM-13909 ROHS
and
TI CC1101 Wireless 868Mhz 915Mhz RF Module Long Range 1.5km IPEX/Stamp Hole Antenna
SMD Package E07-900M10S SPI Wireless Module
But these seem to be the receiver without a transmitter.
Can these receivers be paired with a tranmitter? If so where are the transmitters available?
Thanks.
