Installing Arduino IDE

First, you need to install Arduino IDE Software from its official website Arduino. Here is a simple step-by-step guide on “How to install Arduino IDE“.

Installing Libraries

Before you start uploading a code, download and unzip the following libraries at /Progam Files(x86)/Arduino/Libraries (default), in order to use the sensor with the Arduino board. Here is a simple step-by-step guide on “How to Add Libraries in Arduino IDE“.

RCSwitch

Code

Now copy the following code and upload it to Arduino IDE Software.

/*
  Simple example for receiving

*/

#include <RCSwitch.h>

RCSwitch mySwitch = RCSwitch();

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  mySwitch.enableReceive(0);  // Receiver on interrupt 0 => that is pin #2
}

void loop() {
  if (mySwitch.available()) {
    
    int value = mySwitch.getReceivedValue();
    
    if (value == 0) {
      Serial.print("Unknown encoding");
    } else {
      Serial.print("Received ");
      Serial.print( mySwitch.getReceivedValue() );
      Serial.print(" / ");
      Serial.print( mySwitch.getReceivedBitlength() );
      Serial.print("bit ");
      Serial.print("Protocol: ");
      Serial.println( mySwitch.getReceivedProtocol() );
    }

    mySwitch.resetAvailable();
  }
}

Let’s Test It

We must now put the circuit to the test. Once the code is uploaded to the Arduino board, it will test the radio connection. Transmitted data can be seen by the receiver via the Serial monitor!

Working Explanation

The above-given code uses the RCSwitch library to receive data transmitted using radio frequency (RF) signals. The RCSwitch library is a convenient way to interface with RF receiver modules like the H3V4F 433MHz RF Receiver Module.
In the void setup, the serial monitor is initialized, and the RCSwitch object is configured to listen for incoming RF signals on interrupt 0, which corresponds to pin #2 on the Arduino.
In the void loop function, the program continuously checks for the availability of incoming RF signals using the available() function. If a signal is available, the getReceivedValue() function is used to retrieve the decoded value of the signal, and the getReceivedBitlength() and getReceivedProtocol() functions are used to get the length of the signal in bits and the protocol used to encode the signal, respectively. The received data is then printed to the serial monitor using the Serial.println() function.
After that, the resetAvailable() function is called to reset the availability flag and prepare the RCSwitch object for the next incoming signal.

Applications

Wireless control network
Remote control devices
Wireless data transmission systems, etc
