Hi guys,
I've got a project in mind and i was wondering if it was possbile/ reasonably easy to have a main Arduino in one area that can send data to another arduino. The second arduino will have a number of sensors connected to it and it will use the data from the first arduino to control the sensors.
e.g Arduino 1 sends a signal that Arduino 2 interperets to be "Run motor, get light reading and then return values back"
Thankyou!
The rf24 radios would be a good wireless solution. Read the simple rf24 tutorial to learn about them.

I thought about wireless but I'd rather keep it wired, any idea of the best way to do this just by the RX and TX lines?
RS485 is made for long distance wired serial communication. Google "Arduino rs485".

What is the distance between them - that matters a lot.

Then for the best answers tell us about the project, you know it, the forum does not.
In particular if you have discounted particular methods of connection, or favour others, then perhaps tell us ?
