Hi,
Welcome to the forum.Please read the first post in any forum entitled how to use this forum.
http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php/topic,148850.0.htmlAre you sure you remote is 433Mhz?
If you hold them too close you will overload the rather simplistic Rx and not get anything.
Can you post a link to the Tx/Rx units you bought please?
Also, check the Serial.begin( ) statement in the code and make sure you have the serial monitor in the IDE set on the same speed?
Thanks.. Tom..
Thanks so much for the tip on reading the first post. I have now done that.
I checked to make sure that both the Serial.begin( ) statement in the code and the Serial Monitor are set to the same value (9600).
I appreciate your help with this.
Thanks,
John
