- Blog entry posted in 'Electronics and Other Ramblings...', June 09, 2014.
As I mentioned previously (http://www.electro-tech-online.com/blog-entries/arduino-internet-of-things-continued-2.748/), I gave-up on the using VirtualWire on the PIC-side and decided to instead use the wireless code I had developed for the basic OOK wireless devices. First step was to create a serial connection between PIC and Arduino to exchange basic data. That went pretty smoothly. Next step was to connect the two using the simple coding/decoding scheme presented on the OOK wireless post (still through a direct wired connection). The code used was posted below for reference. So far it has worked really good.
Next on the list is to connect through the wireless interface ...
