Overview

Many people have sent communications between an arduino and another computer using a serial connection, perhaps in a course like CSE 132. Most people, though, do not have experience communicating wireless between arduinos using Radio Frequency technology. Let's dig in.

Materials

You will need: -2 arduinos (most types will work, uno and mega definitely will) -virtualWire library download (http://www.resistorpark.com/arduino-virtualwire-library-download/) -RF Link Receiver (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10532) -RF Link Transmitter (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10534) -A breadboard -Around 15 wires -1 7V-12V power supply for arduino -1 Serial connection for arduino
