Virtual Wire - One way Uno R3 -> Uno R3 - no longer used ?

Hi,
I am interested in setting up a simple Radio Link between two Unos R3 using the cheap 433MHz On/ Off type modulation Transmitter / Receivers at a few $ each. Using Virtual Wire is one suggested cheap option. Several old Virtual Wire tutorials are on Web, but they are outdated I suspect, since when I implement the code it does not not work.

Can some one tell me if Virtual wire is superseded By Radio Read. Radio Head is much more complicated Than I wanted.

Will Virtual Wire still work is my question? I do not want to keep trying if it is obsolete.

I tried library ...

as well as s few others- all gave multiple errors.

Look forward to advice,

Regards,

Peter.

Some say that the RadioHead is easier to use.
You can use the latest VirtualWire or the new RadioHead. The RadioHead comes with many examples, try to find the example for RH_ASK, you will see that it is as easy as VirtualWire. RadioHead has a few improvements and is a little larger.

VirtualWire has many copies all over the internet, don't just grab some random copy. I suggest to use the RadioHead.

These are the links to the official, original, newest libraries:
