🔌 Wiring
Transmitter (FS1000A)
| Pin | Connect To |
|---|---|
| VCC | 5V |
| DATA | Digital pin (e.g. D12) |
| GND | GND |
Receiver (XY-MK-5V or similar)
| Pin | Connect To |
|---|---|
| VCC | 5V |
| DATA | Digital pin (e.g. D11) |
| GND | GND |
📌 Some receivers have two DATA pins — either one can be used.
📦 Library Installation (Arduino IDE)
We recommend the RadioHead or VirtualWire compatible library.

🧪 1️⃣ Transmitter Example – Send a Message
🧪 2️⃣ Receiver Example – Receive Message
Upload this to the receiver Arduino.
✔ Messages appear in Serial Monitor
✔ Expect occasional corrupted data — this is normal for ASK RF
🧪 3️⃣ Button-Controlled Wireless Switch (Example)
Transmitter (Button)
Receiver (LED)
📏 Antenna & Range Tips (CRITICAL)
✔ Add a 17.3 cm wire antenna to both modules
✔ Keep antenna vertical
✔ Avoid metal enclosures
✔ Lower data rates = better range
Typical range:
-
5–20 m indoors
-
50–100 m outdoors (line-of-sight)
