Is anyone working on porting a 433Mhz library such as VirtualWire?

I would be really keen to use this library but it wont let me compile any of the examples for my photon :frowning: I was hoping you may be able to help @peekay123 given you did the first port.. this is way beyond my still new skills I get the following errors: manchesterrx_array.cpp: In function…

@smogs , support for the SparkIntervalTimer with Photon is not yet available unless you compile locally. It is coming VERY soon I believe :smile:

Hi @peekay123 , I’m compiling locally and attempting to use your Manchester library with my Photon. My setup is to use Arduino Pro Minis transmitting off 433MHz transmitters using the Radiohead library . As a test, they are currently broadcasting a single uint8_t at each press of a pushbutton. My or…

Guess I typed too soon… Using Mchr3k’s Arduino Manchester library I was able to get the Pro Minis talking nicely to the Photons. It does appear that the Radiohead library is not compatible with this library, for anyone who might encounter this issue here.

Been trying to do communication from my photon to an arduino nano using "RF wireless receiver module & transmitter module board for arduino super regeneration 315/433MHZ DC5V (ASK /OOK)" Failing so far though. As you succeeded, care to share some code snippets? I’m receiving at the photon and send…

Hi @Faajer , The first question will be: do you have a Rx & Tx 433MHz module pair? Did you try using @peekay123 ’s Manchester library? . The sample code in there worked quite well for me. I compile all of my code locally for other reasons but otherwise they compiled fine for me using the Photon as Rx…

Hi @chuank I do have a Rx & Tx 433MHz module pair. I’m using the Manchester library from the Particle IDE (builtin Manchester library) for the Photon. And the Manchester direct download for the Arduino I’ve tried fooling around with the baud rate setting it at any possible value. Using the Phot…

Hi @Faajer , If you’re powering via USB on your Photon, use the VIN pin to provide +5V to your Rx. Also try moving to the other DATA pin on the Rx, and check that you’ve got the right pins declared in your Particle code. Avoid using breadboards if you can, too. While there shouldn’t be any major RF …

@chuank Thanks for the tips. I got it working now (extended the antennas with 17cm wire) and at a friends I can manage to send messages up to 14 meters including 2 walls. At my own place I barely send up to 7 meters. Guess it also depends on noise. 11-12 meters would be perfect for my setup but I …

That’s great to hear @Faajer ! I’ve had surprisingly good response with good 'ol 17.8cm hookup wire. Also, look online for loaded coil antenna designs where you basically coil up the base of the antenna like a helix using a lamp cord to help form the helix. This gave me a bit more range, but my depl…
