RF ASK Transmitter/Reciever Example
This code depends on the VirtualWire Library for Arduino and is
based on the example code provided by Mike McCauley (mikem@open.com.au)
See VirtualWire.h for detailed API docs.
This example shows how to use the VirtualWire library to send and receive
simple messages and use them to control digital I/O pins. Buttons are
connected to the transmitting Arduino on pins 8-11 (to ground, internal 20k
pull-up resistors are set in the code) and in the same fashion,
LEDs are connected to the recieving Arduino on pins 8-11. When a button is
pressed on the transmitter, the corresponding LED will light on the reciever.
This document contains both transmitter and reciever code, simply de-comment
the piece of code you need to use.
