I attached the output from a Parallax PIR(http://www.parallax.com/dl/docs/prod/audiovis/pirsensor-v1.2.pdf)into the transmitter..and the receiver to my Arduino. I'm basically trying to create a wireless motion sensor. The PIR goes high if triggered then sends the signal through the transmitter?arduino receives it and does something.A basic HIGH OR LOW scenario. I'm having a problems..it seems the signal won't transmit right?any advice.
Sorry that will not work (as you have found) you can't transmit arbitrary DC levels through an RF link. you have to encode the data in some form or other into pulses. Something like serial data will do it.
I suspect, Manny, that what you really needed was a "wireless relay switch"; many places sell them (usually used to control a relay to wireless start a car, turn on a radio/amp, lock the doors - they are often used in auto installations). If you got hold of a single relay version (cheapest), with a key-fob transmitter, you would have to modify the transmitter to allow the PIR device to "click" the button on the transmitter (typically by bringing it low or high - depends on the transmitter design), then modify the receiver so that instead of activating a relay, it brings a digital I/O pin on the Arduino low or high (you would have to trace from the coil of the relay to the receiver module, then remove the relay from the circuit - unless it is needed for something).
