Thanks for the replies and info, very encouraging. Read the posts a few times as they have evolved and plan to use the Rob Rozee tool to set the o/p down also play with the baud rate, only want to communicate about 50yds anyway. We are rural so dont expect co-channel interferance. Got the FTDI but not the cable.
Never used rf or even communicated between picaxe's so its another leap into the dark for us hence the questions before the HC-12's land on the doormat. Was hoping to be able to switch a remote relay on/off and also receive the date from a display on another project which seems to be 67 bytes long,
Do the units work as simplex or have they got to be used half duplex also the info says unlimited data but others say only a few bytes?
Dont suppose its possible to simulate any of this?, can two picaxe communicate serially hardwired, the info seems to imply that the HC-12 just replaces a serial link?
This is what I hope to display?
Thanks Peter
