After reading some of the discussions about wireless communications, I
remembered an article from Nuts and Volts ( http://www.nutsvolts.com ) May
1998. The title of the article is "Naked Data", Explore the power of
wireless data communications using inexpensive off-the-shelf hardware. The
article was written by Ryan Sheldon (http://members.aol.com/ncdcat). The
article discusses using RF and IR as a 1200bps serial data link. The
article shows schematics for some of the IR devices. The RF devices used
are from MING (http://www.ming-micro.com/). Digi-Key carries their
products, and the cost for a transmitter and receiver total less that
25.00. I have not tried the products but it seems like a good place to
start experimenting. I know 1200Bps is not very fast, but some users might
find that data rate acceptable. Also, this would be a one-way link.

| for RF communications, I recommend Linx Technologies (URL) They sell seperate transmitters, receivers, and antennas. For two-way communication, you would need two pairs, so the price is around $30 for a bidirectional link. They have speed ranges (...) (26 years ago, 2-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| I'm glad you mentioned the Nuts & Volts article, "Naked Data"! I've used the MING microdevices RF transmitter and receiver units with success! The 1200 bps isn't fast but great for small projects such as mobile robots. I used the MING RF units with (...) (26 years ago, 2-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
