Hi,

I bought my RD413kit from ebay... Yes, sorry guys. But the price was so good i thought lets have a try.
Now i'm testing the kit. But it doesn't do what i'm thinking it should. So, it does nothing at all (hahaha).

I'm using a this kit: Arduino Forum
I used the threat for the pin-layout. I hope that's okay.

I'm using the virtualwire lib.

Can anybody tell me how i can test the kit?
So i can be sure it is working, or not. If it is not i'm going to mail the ebay seller.
If it is, i'm very happy. LOL

thx,

Marcel

I've never seen anyone get Virtualwire to both output and input at the same time.
You are testing with 2 arduino's, one transmitting and 1 receiving?

Please post a RD413 spec.

Might be. Might not. What it is not is understandable.
