how to use RF Link Receiver with flowcode?

[geetansh]

hello guys
i want to add wireless remote to my AGV and i have these RF Link Receiver - 4800bps (434MHz) and transmitter
http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10532
can anyone tell me how to use these with my PIC microcontrollers using flowcode?
please give me some link or pdf to understand various available options to use RF in flowcode.

Hi Geetansh

Not sure how similar the Sparkfun RF modules are to the ones used on the Matrix boards

Ive attached a simple program for you to have a look at.
Set up 2 identicle systems (EB006, Keypad, LCD and RF Board)
This is a simple half duplex transceiver, press the keypad on one system and it shows that number on the other system.
Hope it gives you a start

hello sir
those sparkfun rf products are receiver and transmitter, each having only 1 line for data and usual power supply pins and antenna pin. so i think i cant use flowcode RF component with those.
if there is some way to use them using flowcode plz reply.

Hello,

The Flowcode RF component only works with the RF E-block EB063, the RF Solutions ALPHA transceiver modules or the Microchip MRF49XA devices.

If the Sparkfun modules use one of these devices in their product then yes you should be able to use it with Flowcode.

Otherwise you probably still can use with Flowcode but you will probably have to interface to the module using a component such as the RS232 or SPI.

yes i think i can use these sparkfun rf using some communication component of flowcode.
i m ordering few from sparkfun, i will try to use them and will let u know about it.

Is this component compatible with the flowcode V5 RF component? It's ALPHA transeiver SPI!

Thank you!

Hello,

Yes that looks like the module we use on the EB063 E-block.

Will use MRF49XA in my new project. Is this example actual for the FC6 and the workflow is the same: initialize and then just send/receive bytes?
Are there any detailed explanation of MRF component macro parameters? I mean, valid ranges of timeouts and parameter values, use of different macros in different situations and so on.

Any help and examples are kindly appreciated.
