Try http://www.laipac.com they have a Tx for $4.80 and Rx for $4.80.
Poke around the site a bit - they deal other stuff too. You are
looking for TWS434 & RWS434 units.
and try Lemos International [noparse][[/noparse]sales@l... 508-798-5004]
Look in your DigiKey catalog also...
As to how you will communicate with the stamp there are lots of
ways - and types of modulation schemes.
You likely would want to use r/c model servos and will need to
learn how these work too.
You've taken on a big project - hopefully you can find help in
a local hobby store. Good luck with your learning/teaching!

Just for the record, they are selling the Wen Shing RF boards, which were
available about 2 years ago, and then disappeared. LAIPAC is the worldwide
distributor, and offers quantity pricing as well. They also offer tuned
antennas for the boards. I would be happy to copy anyone who wishes (or the
list as a whole) with the response I received from them today.

is there any code available to implement them?
I noticed that these boards are VERRRY inexpensive.
I also noticed from the data sheet that there's a 'code in'
line on the transmitter.

I didn't see a way to order from laipac and I bet you'll find a minimum
order or some other business where the $10 versus $5 isn't going to be a big
difference.

I to am interested in using these RF units, so I wrote to Laipec asking
about availability and Minimum Order Quantity(MOQ).
They responded positively, with pricing in Canadian dollars, since I reside
in Canada. Here is the email I received; I hope this helps -
especially since I don't have much time to pursue it myself right now.

Hey Group:
For what it's worth, Laipac is almost in my back yard. I called them this
morning
and visited them this afternoon. Picked up one each of the 434 Rx and Tx units.
Diego is a helpful guy and provided additional information, as well as answering
my questions (there are a couple of minor boo-boos in the data sheet).
Will advise how the hardware investigation turns out.
Best...Don
