RF Transmitter and Receiver: Step 1: Short RF Lesson

This instructable describes how to build an RF transmitter and receiver to control RGB LEDs using a PIC microcontroller. It uses RF modules to communicate wirelessly without wires. The transmitter sends data as 1s and 0s via radio waves, which the receiver collects and converts back to digital signals to control the LEDs. The author provides circuit diagrams, component lists, and code to demonstrate how RF modules can be used to remotely control devices with a microcontroller.

RF Transmitter and Receiver

by OEsirik

In this project, I will use RF modules with Pic 16f628a. It will be a short tutorial about rf. After you learn ho rf
modules communicate with each other you can use these modules with pic microcontroller, ardunio or any
microcontroller. I controlled RGB LEDs but If you can control many thing motors or relays.

range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz, as well as the alternating
currents carrying the radio signals. Why do we use it?

How does it work? If we want to communicate some devices without any


wire we RF modules is one of the ways.
We need two modules which are transmitter and
receiver. Our control our data 1 and 0(we use the

Step 4: Printed Circuit Board

I love using PCB instead of prototype PCB(including many holes), In my opinion, this way is more healthy for
circuits. After designing the circuits I printed on the boards but there are some tiny nets so I needed to fix some
nets. After fixing operations they go to in acid. Then they are ready for next step.

Step 5: Solder Mask !

Its optional part.

Solder mark has some difficulties but otherwise, it has some benefits.Your PCB can be healthy very long time and
short circuit risks become increases.You can find many resources about how can you make solder mask at
home.After the solder mask operations, PCB's go drilling operations.

Step 6: Soldering

At last, we soldering the components on PCB. My advice you should solder dip socket first but attach the pics and
rf modules after soldering. You should be very careful about short circuits. Besides, rf modules can be effected
static electric very easily.

Step 7: Codding

I used PIC CCS for programming. If you have any If we try to use the same many RF modules in the

Step 8: RUN!

In this project main idea was RF communication thus I did not use qualification pic or oscillator. If you want to
obtain better communication you should use high-frequency crystal oscillator and high-frequency RF modules. You
should use an antenna.
