Raspberry Pi – 433MHz radio

if the receiver needs 5v, remember the nice 5v->3.3v circuit:

Basically just install wiringPi, then the 433utils:

root@rpi02:~# git clone git://github.com/ninjablocks/433Utils.git
Cloning into ‘433Utils’…
remote: Counting objects: 129, done.
remote: Total 129 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Receiving objects: 100% (129/129), 28.02 KiB, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (55/55), done.
root@rpi02:~# cd 433Utils/RPi_utils
root@rpi02:~/433Utils/RPi_utils# make
g++    -c -o RCSwitch.o RCSwitch.cpp
g++    -c -o send.o send.cpp
g++   RCSwitch.o send.o -o send -lwiringPi
g++    -c -o codesend.o codesend.cpp
g++   RCSwitch.o codesend.o -o codesend -lwiringPi
g++    -c -o RFSniffer.o RFSniffer.cpp
g++   RCSwitch.o RFSniffer.o -o RFSniffer -lwiringPi
root@rpi02:~/433Utils/RPi_utils#

Then transmit something over 433MHz (car key,  electric socket remote control..)

And run the thing:

root@rpi02:~/433Utils/RPi_utils# ./RFSniffer

Try also with the transmitter.

I can see lights blinking, but RFSniffer doesnt show anything.

Trying to see what is happening on the pins at lower level with this:

pigpiod should be installed first.

piscope is GREAT!
