Arduino is a microcontroller that uses ATmega328p IC for its functioning.

There are many types of Arduino boards available but in this project, we use Arduino UNO. This project uses Arduino UNO and RF Transmitter and a Reciever to send the signals by tapping the push button so the LED turns on and off.

If you have an interest in Arduino and related projects do check out here for more. The Transmitter Module is connected to one of the Arduino and the Reciever module is connected with the other one.

Follow the easy steps given below to complete the circuit diagram and then upload the Arduino code in this Arduino Tutorial. You can also check out Interfacing GSM Module with Arduino.

How Does It Work?

In this project, we use two Arduino UNO with the RF Transmitter and Reciever Module.

The Transmitter is used to send the signal to the desired destination and the Receiver is used to receive the transmitted signal.

A push-button is connected to the Transmitter circuit to send the signals. Want to know how push-button works with Arduino click here. When we press the push-button the LED connected with the Reciever circuit will glow.

Arduino Tutorial for rf receiver is given here. This indicates that we successfully send the signal and receive it at the other end. Read the instructions given below carefully to make your own project.

Circuit Diagram of the Project

Make the connections according to the given circuit diagram.

Connect the 5 Volt pin of one of the Arduino with the VCC of the Transmitter module and a side of the Push-button. Join the GND pin of the Arduino to the GND of the Transmitter module and
another side of the Pushbutton through a resistor as shown and then
connect it with the digital 4 pin of the Arduino.
Connect the data pin of the Transmitter module to the digital 12 pin of the Arduino.
Join the positive leg of LED with the digital 9 pin of Arduino and the negative leg to the ground through a resistor.
Receiver Circuit

Code of the Project

Note: Upload the code given below to both of the Arduino. You need to install the library <VirtualWire.h>.

Code for the Reciever Circuit

 #include <VirtualWire.h>  
 void setup()  
 {  
 vw_set_ptt_inverted(true); // Required for DR3100  
 vw_set_rx_pin(12);  
 vw_setup(4000); // Bits per sec  
 Serial.begin(9600);  
 pinMode(9, OUTPUT);  
 vw_rx_start(); // Start the receiver PLL running  
 }  
 void loop()  
 {  
 uint8_t buf[VW_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN];  
 uint8_t buflen = VW_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN;  
   Serial.println();  
 if (vw_get_message(buf, &buflen)) // Non-blocking  
 {  
 if(buf[0]=='0')  
 {  
 digitalWrite(9,HIGH);  
 }   
 else   
 {  
 digitalWrite(9,LOW);  
 }  
 }  
 }

Code for the Transmitted Circuit

 #include <VirtualWire.h>  
 char *controller;  
 const int buttonPin1 = 2;   
 int buttonState1 = 0;  
 void setup()   
 {  
  // put your setup code here, to run once:  
 Serial.begin(9600);  
 pinMode(buttonPin1, INPUT);  
 pinMode(9,OUTPUT);  
 vw_set_ptt_inverted(true); //  
 vw_set_tx_pin(12);  
 vw_setup(4000);// speed of data transfer Kbps  
 delay(100);}  
 void loop()  
 {  
   buttonState1 = digitalRead(buttonPin1);  
   Serial.println(controller);  
  if (buttonState1 == HIGH)  
 {  
 controller="1" ;   
 vw_send((uint8_t *)controller, strlen(controller));  
 vw_wait_tx(); // Wait until the whole message is gone  
 digitalWrite(9,LOW);  
 }  
  else  
  {  
  controller="0" ;  
 vw_send((uint8_t *)controller, strlen(controller));  
 vw_wait_tx(); // Wait until the whole message is gone  
 digitalWrite(9, HIGH);  
  }  
 }
