Title: EzRadio
Post by: wop on May 24, 2006, 04:32:32 04:32
Has anyone had any experience using the EzRadio modules from LPRS with an atmel microcontroller? Are there any big bugs that I should look out for that are undocumented?

thank you

Hi.
I recently used two of this modules. I used one module to send temperature sensor data (the sensor is located outside my home). The other module is receiving the data, sending an rs232 packet to a micro (i use a PIC 16F877) who display temperature data on a LCD.
The modules are easy to use (the are also called "easy radio") because communication with the controller is RS232 standardized. The module use a manchester code scheme to transmit in a transparent way (the user is not required to code data).
Consider that i have very poor rf experience but with this chips is really easy to get "on air".
Anyway, about your question, i don't remember any bug in using the Ezradio. I'm going to check the code i've written. Also you can check the forum on the site CCS (www.ccsinfo.com (http://www.ccsinfo.com)), the creator of the great C compiler (PCWH ide compiler). There are a lot of issues about using and interfacing RF modules to a PIC controller.
 
Good luck!
