3x4 Keypad Radio Frequency remote control

  To send digits to radio frequency receiver, a 3x4 keypad and a transmitter is a good combination. To use the keypad, the connection between keypad and pins has to be clarified. For my keypad, the connections are:

Keypad.1: Pin1 + Pin5
Keypad.2: Pin1 + Pin6
Keypad.3: Pin1 + Pin7
Keypad.4: Pin2 + Pin5
Keypad.5: Pin2 + Pin6
Keypad.6: Pin2 + Pin7
Keypad.7: Pin3 + Pin5
Keypad.8: Pin3 + Pin6
Keypad.9: Pin3 + Pin7
Keypad.*: Pin4 + Pin5
Keypad.0: Pin4 + Pin6
Keypad.#: Pin4 + Pin7

I just want to send 3 digits range from 000 to 999 to receiver running the sketch posted on May. 11, 2014. The result is showed on the following photo.

Connections

1. Transmitter.Vcc -> Arduino.5V
2. Transmitter.Gnd -> Arduino.Gnd
3. Transmitter.Data -> Arduino.D12
4. Keypad.Pin1 (ROW0) -> Arduino.D5
5. Keypad.Pin2 (ROW1) -> Arduino.D4
6. Keypad.Pin3 (ROW2) -> Arduino.D3
7. Keypad.Pin4 (ROW3) -> Arduino.D2
8. Keypad.Pin5 (COL0) -> Arduino.D8
9. Keypad.Pin6 (COL1) -> Arduino.D7
10. Keypad.Pin7 (COL2) -> Arduino.D6

Arduino RF Wireless Message Display

As I am building the RF wireless power socket for home automation, I need a stand along tool to display any wireless received message. During the lab, I use Arduino serial monitor to monitor the message received once a second, error always happens at different time point as following screen shot shows. After disconnecting the Arduino Uno from PC to monitor message received by using LCD keypad shield as a stand along system, the error condition gone.
The RF wireless message display can be used to display the time on the NTP synchronized RTC clock (my projects during Aug 2013), so no additional time adjustment at display side is needed.


Parts Used

1. Arduino Uno R3
2. cheaphousetek LCD Keypad Shield
3. RF Receiver (described in Arduino Cookbook 14.1)

Connection

1. Stack LCD Key Keypad Upon Arduino Uno R3
2. RF Receiver Data Pin - Arduino Uno D11
3. RF Receiver Vcc - Arduino Uno 5V
4. RF Receiver Gnd - Arduino Uno Gnd

The sketch runs correctly with output to LCD shield for 247,610 times.
