These will work at the level of attention paid to the antennae and timing of the data, these will work with the RFSwitch library for the Arduino and RaspberryPi with any old piece of wire, to use for communications look at a wiki on AM RF Aerials (17cm enamelled wire from an old Inductor to make a Spiral Square loop Transmitter, 30cm enamelled wire coiled round an empty piece of Ballpoint pen for receiver), the antennae are directional in the sense that the best Tx or Rx power will be got from 90 degrees to the plane of the coil. Read the Playground pages on serial comms and the RF Library for advice on timing of data packets........ For the Price they are a MUST have for any Maker Tinkerer...........

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely superb
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 January 2014

    Took a couple of weeks to come, as expected. Both transmitter and receiver are included which is everything you need for one-way communication between a pair of Arduinos. Very easy to plumb into an Arduino. I had it working in minutes. Three connections on the transmitter (GND, ATAD and VCC) and you can connect two directly on the breadboard so you only need one jumper. Four connections on the receiver (GND, DATAx2 and VCC) and you only need 3 and can connect VCC directly so you only need two breadboard jumpers. These devices accept a wide range of voltages for VCC so you don't have to burden the Arduino's 5V regulator. Put ATAD on the transmitter HIGH or LOW and the DATA pins on the receiver go (with high probability) HIGH or LOW. It is that easy.

    The range is very poor out of the box, just a few cms. However, there are little solder tabs marked ANT where you can add an antenna. I soldered on a right-angle pin I had lying around which immediately improved the range to about 1m. If I put a female-connected wire on each of the transmitter and receiver then I get excellent communication from one corner of my house to the opposite corner (~30m) which I am very happy with.

    Superb value for money. Highly recommended.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 433Mhz RF transmitter and receiver kit
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 May 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This transmitter/receiver pair are very compact little modules, built on rather thin, but good quality PCBs. The transmitter (square PCB, 3-pin connector) has a through-hole pad marked "ANT" (top right-hand corner) to which a simple 17cm straight wire aerial should be attached. It needs a positive supply (3.5V to 12V) to "VCC" pin, 0V to "GND" pin; 12V should give maximum range. A positive voltage digital signal applied to the "DATA" pin amplitude-modulates the transmitted signal. (Amusingly, the DATA input pin on my PCB was marked "ATAD" - slight problem with the silkscreen artwork?) The receiver (oblong PCB, 4-pin connector) has a similar pad, (bottom left-hand corner) unmarked, adjacent to the coil. This pad needs a similar aerial attached. The receiver needs a +5V supply on "VCC", 0V on "GND". Received digital data, nominally 5V amplitude, is output on either of the "DATA" pins. I have not yet checked the range of this Tx/Rx pair, nor their power consumption. The only slight problem I have detected is that in the absence of transmission, the receiver tends to respond to random noise, and generates spurious output signals. The signal processing software or hardware will need to be designed to reject these signals. These modules represent extraordinarily good value for money, are very simple to operate, and promise to be fun to use.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great value boards - once you have the documentation
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 May 2014
    Verified Purchase
    These are great value boards and I found them easy to get working once I had found the appropriate documentation and essential Arduino library. You just need to solder 15cm of stiff wire to the antenna holes to increase the range.

    They may take quite a long time to arrive but at this price you really cannot complain. They did arrive within the expected delivery window.

    There is an excellent description of how to use them at:
    [...]
    The link to the library at this site is out of date and in the rather more difficult .rar file format (which needs Bitser to unpack it), rather than .zip

    The essential Arduino library to drive these clever and cheap little boards is called VirtualWire-1.27. It can be downloaded from:
    [...]

    This driver has been superseded by RadioHead but works well enough with these simple boards.

    Now that I have them working properly they will be the basis of several more complicated projects.

    I've just written a guide sheet on how to use them. Contact me on arduinolink (AT) gmail.com and I will send a copy to make up for the lack of documentation from the supplier.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Well on the plus side these things seem easy to use; the downside is there are no docs at all,
    and I'm relying on the other reviews here for the clues!
    (Does anyone know where the antenna wire goes on the receiver? Is that the blob next to the coil?)
    It looks a pretty wide (~1MHz) bandwidth on my sdr.

    Update: There's a subtlety with these guys; most of the AVR libraries use a special protocol rather
    than sending simple serial down them.
    I couldn't get 9600 baud serial to work, but I did get 1200 baud serial to work, the trick is to
    send a 00 byte at the start of what ever you're going to send and keep the messages short.

    Some possibly useful pointers:

    1.0 out of 5 stars Missing components and dry joints
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I ordered 2 of these RX/TX pairs. I only actually wanted the transmitters, as the receivers are known not to be very good (buy a superheterodyne one instead). Anyway ... out of the two transmitters delivered, one was missing a 56K resistor (shown in the pic) and the other seems to have a dry joint on the transistor (shown on the left in the pic). This makes one useless all the time, and the other mostly useless unless I flex the board to make the contact. I've managed to fix one of the boards by replacing the missing surface mount resistor with a through hole version, but even so, not good, even considering the cheap price.

    Very competitive price - 185/- for the transmitter and receiver kit.

    I have not used it so last 4 months due to various other tasks I've been involved with; If it works as planned, it would be great product.

    I'm rating it 4 as I've not seen it work effectively; I will change the rating and remarks once its used.
