This module used to connect PC port.
How to use the RF module to control Arduino wirelessly? Its principle is similar to a remote control, which
has 4 buttons for RF wireless remote control. However, on occasions of data transmission, such a
solution becomes less suitable, for example when you want to send PC the data that Arduino
collected from light sensors. It is technically known as the wireless data transmission. At present, there
are many solutions for wireless data transmission. A very simple way is connecting with the Arduino
using APC220 to send data via serical port. Although the data transmission speed may slow (limited by
the serial port baud rate) ,it is a simple and pratical way.No wonder that many netizens recommended the
inclusion of such Arduino module support.
Manufacturers do not give any datasheet or material to us. Fortunately, some can be found on the
network. Meanwhile learn by researching. First , USB adapter from manufacturer seems not to match
APC220 because the number of pins is different. Maybe because it has to be compatible with other
different products, or at least it is not specially designed for the APC220. USB adapter used CP2102
chip. Download the appropriate drivers in Silicon Laboratories, To downloaded the file
cp210x_vcp_win2k_xp_s2k3.zip, unzipped to get an exe file, then instal the driver step by step following
the prompts.
After driver installation is complete, insert USB adapter into the PC's USB interface, Windows will be
prompted to find new hardware, then finsh installation and configuration accordingly:
