RF Based Wireless Message Broadcasting system in Arduino

Hello folks, I am here with a simple and interesting arduino project, RF based wireless Message Transmitting system. By using this system you can feed the data to be transmitted serially to the transmitter from your PC. The project mainly consisting of a Transmitter and a  receiver section. Transmitter is made by Arduino Uno board and receiver is made by Arduino Mega2560. The communication between transmitter and receiver is through RF, Amplitude Shift Keying. (More about Binary Frequency shift keying)  This wireless transmitter and receiver pair operates in 433Mhz. Only one way of communication is possible through this system, the received message will be displayed on a 16x2 alpha-numeric liquid crystal display. The receiving section updates the display whenever a new message arrives from 433Mhz RF transmitter.

Program - Transmitter

#include <VirtualWire.h>

char inData[30];

char inChar;

byte index = 0;

void setup()

{

vw_setup(2000); // Bits per sec

Serial.begin(9600);

}

void loop()

{

  

 

 while(Serial.available() > 0)

  {

   

      if(index<30)

      {

          inChar = Serial.read();

          inData[index] = inChar;

          index++;

          inData[index] = '\0';

      }

  

  }

     

    Serial.println(inData);

    send(inData);

index=0;

  

       }

     

delay(100);

}

void send (char *message)

{

vw_send((uint8_t *)message, strlen(message));

vw_wait_tx(); // Wait until the whole message is gone

}

Program - Receiver

#include <VirtualWire.h>

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

LiquidCrystal lcd(22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28);

byte message[VW_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN]; // a buffer to store the incoming messages

byte messageLength = VW_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN; // the size of the message

void setup()

{

  Serial.begin(9600);

  vw_setup(2000); // Bits per sec

  vw_rx_start(); // Start the receiver

}

void loop()

{

  if (vw_get_message(message, &messageLength)) // Non-blocking

  {

    lcd.clear();

    for (i = 0; i<messageLength; i++)

    {

      message[i];

      Serial.write(message[i]);

      lcd.write(message[i]);

    }

    for (i = 0; i<messageLength; i++)

    {

     message[i]=NULL;

    }

    messageLength = 16;

  }
