Important Considerations and Best Practices

  • Antenna: Use a proper antenna to ensure good signal reception. A simple wire of approximately 17.3 cm (quarter wavelength of 433MHz) can be used.
  • Noise Reduction: Place the receiver module away from sources of electromagnetic interference to reduce noise.
  • Power Supply: Ensure a stable 5V power supply to avoid fluctuations that can affect performance.

Arduino UNO Example Code

/*
  Example code to receive data from RF YK04 433MHz receiver

  to the Serial Monitor.
*/

const int dataPin = 2; // Pin connected to DATA pin of RF receiver

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial communication at 9600 baud
  pinMode(dataPin, INPUT); // Set data pin as input
}

void loop() {
  int receivedData = digitalRead(dataPin); // Read data from receiver
  Serial.println(receivedData); // Print received data to Serial Monitor
  delay(100); // Small delay to avoid flooding the Serial Monitor
}
