orrin Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hello folks, has anyone gotten two of these to work as, perhaps, a chatroom (like the YS1 with ToorChat)? https://www.ebay.com/itm/433Mhz-CC1101-10mW-MAX232-RS232-USB-UART-RF-Transceiver-Wireless/142344922555?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 One blog post i looked at, which i can't find now & was undated, said he could find no documentation on how to use this. I would like to use it as a chat transceiver, controlled by python scripts. Also found this: https://github.com/veonik/arduino-cc1101 but i am not knowledgeable enough to figure out if the USB CC1101 goes with an Arduino, or if it's necessary to jump into Arduino to do this. I'm hesitating getting into Arduino, and if there's a simple usb dongle that can send & recv text using FSK with Python scripts, i'm in favor of that. ... There are CC1101 available that are not USB. Thanks for any comments . --orrin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orrin Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 Here is the guy who was trying to research this in 2013: https://allodox.wordpress.com/2013/01/15/usb-1100pa-433mhz-wireless-rf-transceiver/ He tried to install the driver for his Ubuntu machine, but got errors, as he states in his blog. And then he links to this site, in Chinese, but can be run thru a translator: http://www.fytoo.com/msg.php?id=158 So I am wondering if anyone has successfully used this device. For example, for 2-way chat, it's very inexpensive compared to a YS1. ... Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbiz Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Looks like it also pi ks up wireless hydro meters to. Kind of cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orrin Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Well no responses to this, from people who may have used it. Here is my update from doing searches. So far i have no solution for the dongle (usb) version of this, but it looks like there are an Arduino (and an R Pi) solutions for using the CC1101 transceiver: CC1101 with a usb connector:https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-433M-CC1101-USB-Wireless-RF-Transceiver-Module-10mW-USB-UART-MAX232-RS232/121543875213?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 An unsuccessful attempt to use it: https://allodox.wordpress.com/2013/01/15/usb-1100pa-433mhz-wireless-rf-transceiver/ with Arduino: https://github.com/veonik/arduino-cc1101 and with no usb connector: https://www.ebay.com/itm/CC1101-315-433-868-915Mhz-Wireless-Module-SMA-Antenna-Transceiver-for-Arduino/272432624852?epid=509065236&hash=item3f6e3ff4d4:g:V00AAOSwXeJYFtlQ More: https://github.com/SpaceTeddy/CC1101 And yet more: https://salmg.net/2017/09/20/cc1101-transceiver-raspberry-pi/ The R Pi solution looks the most attractive to me, since i have a spare one, and i don't have an Arduino .

Paulc Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Hi Did you get this working I've been looking into it but it's a big learning curve. All the pi solutions use spi but the usb stick is duart. If I send data down the serial port to it with pyserial the light comes on, but I have no idea how to set the frequency. I want to change it 433.42 MHz so I can use it with pisomfy to control smart blinds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
