Dual Synchronized Radio Frequency Control for Motor Lights and more

In this tutorial we will see how to do a synchronized radio frequency control, since one control can control the other. With APC220 modules, which according to the manufacturer can reach a distance of up to one kilometer, under appropriate conditions, are transparent radio modules, since everything that it sends through the serial port, is what will be transmitted. As the brains of the project we will use a couple of arduinos mini pro.

Plates and modules used in this project

Arduino mini pro

The Arduino Pro Mini is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328.
It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, an integrated resonator, a reset button and holes to mount pin headers. A six-pin header can be connected to an FTDI cable or Sparkfun connection board to provide USB power and communication to the board.
The Arduino Pro Mini is designed for semi-permanent installation in objects or exhibitions. The board comes without pre-assembled headers, allowing the use of various types of connectors or direct cable welding. The pin design is compatible with the Arduino Mini.
There are two versions of the Pro Mini. One runs at 3.3V and 8 MHz, the other at 5V and 16 MHz.

Module Apc220

The APC220 radio data module is a high-power and highly versatile radio solution, it is easy to set up and integrate into any project that requires a wireless RF link. It is perfect for robotic applications if you need wireless control. You can connect one of these modules to your MCU via the TTL interface, and connect to your PC with another APC220 module via a TTL/USB converter.
