sorry for the double post, but i just stumbled on these things:
what about these:
could i hook up the transmitter to the arduino, and the reciever to 5 volts, and send data to the reciever?
could i controll up to 14 things, or would i need one of those shift registers, or those ic's that give you more pins on your arduino.
i'm guessing the data inputed into the reciever is raw data, no high or low, so i would need those ic's to recieve the data and iterpret the data to controll the pins connections.
but most importantly, can i use those sparkfun transmitter nad reciever with the arduino, and if so, what do i hook up to where?
EDIT:
never mind, the data sheet sais it all!
EDIT EDIT:
is it just me or does the data sheet expect 2 arduinos to be used??
or can i maybe just order another atmega168 ( might have misspelled it) ic and just tell it to receive the incoming bytes?
or can i just use a transmitter, and receiver receives raw, but understandable enough data to go right into a i/o pin multiplier ic?
