I was just given two Radiometrix BIM-433 Transceivers for use with a Propeller project I have been working on... to make the Propeller able to be controlled wirelessly. I am relatively new to wireless work and the Prop (love it), so I am requesting some help with getting these to communicate with the Prop nicely.
The remote Prop will not need to have a lot of bandwidth... just temperature values, switches, and maybe some stepper motor commands for a future project.
My main goal is to be able to control the remote Prop from my computer... so currently I am guessing I will need a separate Prop at each end, with one end linked into the computer via hyperterminal.
So, after looking around online, I found their main write-up for it: http://www.radiometrix.co.uk/products/bimsheet.htm
From what I can see, that pretty much lays it all out... that page has a sample hook-up and all the details for the programming, but I am unsure how to incorporate that into the Prop... I was told these transceivers do the preamble, etc on-board, and that it just required a serial feed in half-duplex... but I will need a confirmation and definitely some help with the coding.
Thank you so much,
