Q: Can I use this module with a 3.3V microcontroller?
A: The module requires a 5V power supply, but the DATA pin output is typically compatible with 3.3V logic. Use a level shifter if needed for safe operation.
Q: What is the maximum range of this module?
A: The range is typically 50-100 meters in open space. Obstacles and interference can reduce the range.
Q: Can I use multiple receiver modules in the same area?
A: Yes, but ensure that only one transmitter is active at a time to avoid signal collisions.
Q: How do I improve signal reliability?
A: Use a proper antenna, minimize interference, and implement error-checking in your code.
